We need volunteers to help out on Tuesdays from 12.30 to 4.00pm at our weekly Craftwork Group. It is a wellbeing mutual support group and is free to all participants. We make pompom animals, have some food, like sandwiches or soup, tea & coffee, talk about stuff. Sometimes we have quizzes and other craftwork activities, plus planting and growing sessions in the spring. It's a friendly group of usually 8-12 people.
