a year agoIt's a small haven in amongst the chaos that is life. With art therapy, courses, counseling and budget advice. Open from 9.30 they tend to operate on convenient for them timing, but the services are essential, so we wait for the door to open. Clothes rack available for those who wish to donate or get warm

3 years agoVital resource staffed by wonderful empathic but realistic people. A safe place. Various classes held and support of needed is there to. I'll say again. A safe place. It's calm and gentle but with events and classes to stimulate. You don't have to be referred. Great spaces for artistic classes plus so much more. If you're in need of info to help protect you, but it's not an emergency as such,( maybe getting there though), these wonderful hard working - Angels in disguise, will not just point you in right direction and hook you up with those you need, they offer comfort to those who were in dire need and no one else to talk to. Trust them. Also just for any lady, Trans or non binary to enrolled in many self improvement classes and creative classes when you thought your creativity had been crushed out of you. Just go visit even if it's just to sit in the sun and have a cup of tea. They are a huge resource. Make use of them.
