Virtual Community Centre

New ways to connect, learn, and thrive – from the comfort of home

The virtual community centre has been one of our most ambitious plans since securing National Lottery funding. Now it’s becoming real.

This January, we’re launching a range of free offerings designed to support wellbeing, connection, and creativity within our community.

Whether you’re looking for mindfulness practice, a book to discuss, or a creative outlet, there’s something here for you.

All sessions are online, accessible, and free. You can join from home, at times that work for you, with people who understand.

See the boxes lower down the page for full details of the offerings at the Virtual Community Centre.

How to join the Virtual Community Centre

You’ll be able to book tickets for each session through Ticket Tailor when they go live. Keep an eye on your email and our social media channels for announcements and booking links.

As an enhanced member, you’ll receive your very own membership pack, including:
