• Open every Monday of the year (except Easter Monday/Christmas Day/Boxing Day or New Year's day if they fall on a Monday) - Opening hours 16:00-19:00
• We are volunteers offering support through listening and practical means not professional counselling. A list of professional agencies and organisations can be found in the section below.
• We are not a support group that can deal with Alcohol or Drug issues and therefore cannot work with anyone who has challenges in this area. We include agencies that can offer support in this area in the section below.
