Crochet / Knitting Group

For all generations - Join our welcoming friendly knitting group today

A new crochet & knitting group has started in 2022 in the Library cafe by ladies with years of experience and passion to teach others while boxes of fresh food were being distributed in Room 14.  Wonderful to see the community finding a new place for mental relaxation. It's on every Tuesday from 3.30pm. You are more than welcome to just turn up with your knitting kit and share your skills or learn from others.

Place for families

We're really glad to see local mums are coming regularly and meeting here - exchanging information, making new friends and showing support for each other. Passing on the old school uniform that your child no longer wear to a family who desperately need it and and appreciate a little helping hand from another local mum in the area. Offering to bake a birthday cake for a child who cannot afford otherwise. While kids are happily playing together in the library doing crafts or drawing, it gives a chance for mums to chat and getting to know each other.

Time to Chat

Some visitors come for a chat, not for food box!  The café area in the Library is open from 2-6pm. People often just want to sit down and talk, that's absolutely fine! Being a part of a community can help you improve your mental health and there are many benefit of emotional wellbeing. 

CAP (Christians Against Poverty) 

The amazing CAP (Christians Against Poverty) team come on the first Tuesday of every month and they are available to chat from 2pm. CAP provides free professional debt help, job clubs, life skills groups and money education. The service is delivered face-to-face which means you'll receive both the practical and emotional support you need on your journey.
