This amazing little place is a total hive of activities, education and information services for the local area. It's truly staggering the diverse range of stuff that goes on here. Courses vary from Improving Maths and English, Preparing for Higher Education, Languages, Computing, Counselling and Creativity, DIY, gardening and Reiki. There really is something for everyone.
Family groups are also included with a crèche, parent groups, youth club and Pediatric first aid. At the other end of the scale, the Over 50's club provides a lunch club, shopping bus and keep fit as well as valuable health and social information. The Settlement is also involved with The Peoples Hive which runs a volunteer unit and time bank to help out in the local community and CAAAD, a service for people to get help with drug and alcohol problems. I've also attended special events here like the celebration of International Women's Day which was well attended, offered great workshops and a fabulous free lunch. read more
