St. Margaret's Centre

St. Margaret's Centre is a registered charity as an activity and training hub for adults who need support with their mental wellbeing. The main aim of the Centre is to improve the health and wellbeing of the community, by providing a safe, therapeutic environment for people to regain their confidence, motivation and self-esteem while earning new skills and meeting new friends. We deliver arts and crafts classes, joinery courses in our own wood workshop, as well as walking groups, gardening groups and training opportunities. We are in the process of opening our own volunteer led Café and Gift shop mid August 2023 and have many volunteering opportunities.
