Places of Welcome

Join us at Places of Welcome!

We're part of the national Places of Welcome initiative, helping to provide a network of community venues where anyone can go to find a friendly face for a cup of tea and a chat. 

Inspire volunteers are on hand, hosting weekly sessions that provide a meeting place for those who may live alone or feel isolated, are new to the area or just want to makes some new friends. It’s somewhere everyone is welcome - just drop in and say hi, no booking required!
