Meetings are held every Monday afternoon during our “Drop-in” sessions and are open to anyone. There is no formal agenda, we discuss whatever presents itself. No-one is expected to say anything if they don’t want to.

One thing we do ask of people is to bear in mind that we’re providing a ‘safe’ [drug free] environment for people wanting peer-support and an alternative activity to drug use. Please don’t turn up stoned or drunk. Take 5 minutes to self-assess whether you’re in the right frame of mind to attend – you can always come next week!

Travel costs can be refunded.
