Craft & chill
Free family drop in sessions, with activities inspired by identity and belonging.
Drop in to this relaxed and welcoming space for families any time between 10.30am and 3pm.
Read books, play, draw and take part in craft activities inspired by identity and belonging - the choice is yours.
Taking place in a friendly and inclusive space, these sessions will provide the opportunity for families to spend relaxed time together, spark new conversations, make connections with each other and celebrate the things we have in common as well as what makes us different.
This is a pilot project running every other month during 2025 starting in May. Please check for upcoming dates.
All ages welcome but recommended for 4+
