Where do the sessions and drop-ins usually take place?

Our sessions and drop-ins usually take place at accessible community venues across the area, such as local wellbeing centres, libraries, or community halls. We aim to use welcoming, comfortable spaces that are easy to get to by public transport or car. Some sessions may also be held outdoors or online, depending on the activity and time of year. Each event listing will include the location details, so you’ll always know where to go. If you’re unsure about how to get there or have specific accessibility needs, just get in touch—we’re happy to help you plan your visit.
