Hi folks,
Just to say the Chat Café is up and running again and looking for new people to get involved. It’s for people new to the area, who may be learning English and for longer term residents too who want a chance to get out of the house, meet new people and help new folk settle in. It’s a simple way to get people out of the house to make new friends and support each other.
There is a free creche, so it’s especially useful for young parents who can be very isolated, especially if they are recent arrivals and don’t have family support around them. We talk, share a meal, go on trips, share information etc. All very relaxed and informal.
