Chat Central August News

pink line

We have started to meet up in small groups outside a couple of times a week now and it seems to be working well.  It’s been so lovely to see some people, who aren’t on line, for the first time in four months and others face-to-face rather than just on zoom. 

Please do join us if you feel comfortable doing so – we generally meet up on Tuesday morning and Thursday afternoon but this depends on the weather so get in touch if you are not on our message list for regular weekly updates.

Here is our regular weekly on-line timetable
