Volunteer Wanted! We’re looking for someone to help out at the Children’s Craft and Play session on Tuesday mornings, 8.30am to 11am. This is a fun activity group for children and their parents/carers, with play equipment and various crafts, and we need someone who can come and help us set up/take down, and get involved. You can bring your own children too if they are still at home, or if you are at a loose end now your children have started school, then this could be a great way to get into volunteering. If you’re interested, call Annette 01963 31842 or email annette@balsamcentre.org.uk.

A wonderful place. Initially a lifeline as a mum feeling isolated in a new place. Then a source of opportunity to find self worth after suffering from depression. An excellent team. A happy place. Couldn't rate it highly enough.
