Other events
We periodically run additional fundraising events and educational events too.
Partners and supporters are always welcome, and our volunteers will get you a brownie and a hot cup of tea or coffee.
We release specialist support bookings 10 days in advance. We sometimes get booked up so if you need urgent support, please add yourself to our waiting list as well as booking for the next available session you can make. We will do our best to find a way to support you sooner.
Please note we do not generally run appointments on Bank Holidays.
