Our Community is anyone and everyone that is a stakeholder in the organisation including the wide range of partners we work with. In addition, to our fantastic students and staff, we have volunteers and people on work placements. We help individuals from all backgrounds.
We are organising Coffee Mornings, Lunch Clubs and a Warm Space hub to help local people get through these difficult times.
