Coffee Thursday
Coffee Thursday is a free, monthly pop-in coffee morning, where you can take time out for a cuppa and a biscuit and have a chat, when you’re having a tough time. Health Trainer Donna will be there to meet you, listen and give support on lots of issues that can get us down – health, money, relationships – or point you in the direction of someone who can.
It can really help to say things out loud and get them off your chest if you’re feeling fed up, stressed, worried or overwhelmed.
If you feel it would help to talk to someone in a non-judgemental, safe space, then Coffee Thursday might be just what you need. You can stay for as long as you like.
Not sure it’s for you? Call in and see what you think. Everyone is welcome at this free monthly pop-in coffee morning.
Happening between 10.30am and 12.30pm Coffee Thursday dates for 2020 are:
Thursday 30 January
