More information and how to sign up are at the bottom of the article.

To find out more about what’s on offer and to sign up for one of our activities, please visit us at Hope House (any Monday, Wednesday or Friday) or our website, where we have a simple self-referral form, which you can fill out. Once you’ve filled out the form, a member of our team or one of our providers will be in touch to confirm your activity and discuss what support you might need, which group is most suitable for you and get you booked in for your first session.
