Cookery School

Come and join our fun, stress-free and informative cookery classes. We’re partnering with local schools and organisations to offer full-day and half-day classes full of practical, “hands-on” learning.

Whether you’re a beginner or a pro or somewhere in between, our cookery classes are the perfect indoor activity for friends or family groups, birthday events or team-building outings. Not only that, but our space is adapted for people with disabilities – so all can join.

Schools are welcome to apply to incorporate our daytime classes into their school timetable.

For more information, get in touch.

Free Place Scheme

Everyone should be welcome at our all-ages services, and our free place scheme helps make it easier for lower income families to attend – specifically, for Education Plus, Clay Time, Cookery School, sports and 55 Plus.

A panel including representatives from local schools and social services will review applications for free spaces in our programmes each month, giving priority to families struggling to make ends meet and those living in rented housing.

We can only offer free places if people who can afford to pay for services pay into this pot. This means those that can buy another place for a person will be asked to do so.

If you would like to apply for a free place, please fill in this form.

Unisex Hairdressers and Nail Bar

Every person should have access to affordable haircuts. It’s about building good mental health and not being excluded from everyday life.

Drop in, sit down, have a coffee, and be with people in a friendly, relaxed environment. The goal is that you come away feeling refreshed and valued.

Our new salon will open with the new building in Spring 2023. Keep an eye on our What’s On page for more details.

Laundry

With the new building opening in spring 2024, we’re opening a laundry for people on low incomes. Our charges will be £3.00 a wash and £1.00 a 15-minute dry – less than half the price of other local laundries.

What we do
We supply eco-friendly washing products (Ecover and Simply Eco-Smart) to our customers, and we can refill Ecover laundry liquid, fabric softener and washing-up liquid containers.

Our large washing machines use less water and are faster and more energy-efficient than domestic machines. And because our water is softened (non-chemically) which reduces wear on the machinery, our machines work more efficiently and last longer.

On top of that, our mains supply is metered, and we have limiters fitted which reduce water wastage.

By supplying eco-friendly products, we reduce the amount of harmful pollutants that are put into the drains every day.
