EVERY WEEK - a chat time for anyone who has completed a workshop and wants to stay in touch
A weekly one hour session with no agenda – think of it as ‘drop in’ time and bring concerns, questions and stories to share these with others.
LET’S TALK is a supportive space: ask each other for assistance.
