Why we do it
Good rooms cost money. Good work shouldn't.
Half the support groups in town never get off the ground because nobody can afford a venue. We've got the space, so we share it. No invoice, no minimum numbers, no awkward conversations about who's paying for the biscuits.
Bring your group. We'll bring the kettle.
"We ran our first peer-support group here last spring. Twelve people showed up. None of them would have driven to Leeds for it. That room changed what we could be."
