This week in our 18-30 group we had a go at mug painting. It was a great laugh with plenty of creativity and good conversations.

If you’re 18–30 and fancy a friendly, low-pressure place to hang out once a week, chat and try something different, then come join our weekly 18–30 Group.

It’s a relaxed, welcoming space with good company and no expectations. Each week we do something a bit different. Speak to one of our staff about how to join!
