Summer Drop-In 2017

Enjoying a quieter moment of play

On a few days each August, when most regular activities take a break, we open our building to provide play, company, crafts and more for adults and children. It’s a great opportunity for people of all ages to find company and enjoy the activities, whatever the weather.

Thank you to everyone who came to Summer Drop-In this year – over 200 people across the three sessions. It was great to have so many conversations and games taking place between people of different backgrounds and generations. Here are a few photos showing just some of the activities.
