Join us on Tuesday for a fun and friendly social followed by drama improv with Steve Reed, exploring confidence and sight loss through discussion and role play. Wednesday is Bookworms, our relaxed book club chatting about Finding My Voice by Nadiya Hussain – come along even if you haven’t read the book. We finish the week on Friday with a social coffee catch-up and a brain-teasing quiz with Steve Reed.
Everyone is welcome – we’d love to see you.
