Drop In's
A welcoming place open to the whole community, that offers emotional support for parents, run on a weekly basis with optional activities through term time.
What can I expect?
You are guaranteed a warm welcome, and will meet people who are non judgemental, empathetic and encouraging.
With a warm drink in your hand, you can enjoy positive conversation and table top activities that help develop your peace, confidence and headspace.
Who is it for?
Primarily the Drop In is for parents, with or without their children, who are looking to find a connection to their community and a safe place, when needed, to talk through situations that are affecting them and their family life. The kettle however is always on the boil for any person who would like to drop in for a chat.

Skillshare
We love it when people share a hobby and interest with the rest of the group. Whether it is cake decorating, sign language, a special interest, people are welcome to be given a space on the timetable to lead others with support from the Drop In team as needed. It is a great change to grow in confidence and to have something different in life to think about and plan.
