SOCIAL LOUNGE

The social lounge is available free of charge for the community to organise and run groups, sessions or activities that help them to become the solution to identified needs or problems in their community. These services help to develop community cohesion and resilience, fight social isolation and improve the quality of the lives of its users through encouraging community engagement and participation in volunteering, training and employment opportunities.
