If you are looking for help, the first place to go is usually our Drop In Advice Centre. This runs Monday – Thursday from 9am-11am at the Sycamore Centre. Please arrive at 9am when you will be given a ticket and seen in order of when you arrived. One of our advisors will talk to you and ask you some questions then you will be referred to one of our many projects where you will be given some more help.
You can just turn up at the Drop In Advice Centre, the Women’s Group or the Community Cafe. For all the other projects you need to talk to one of our Drop In Centre advisors first.
