A place to come where everyone is welcome.
Our aim is to bring people together, to chat, share their hobbies and interests whilst signposting to local activities and groups that are available in the Rossendale area.
People are welcome to come along as and when during the the session.
You may want to chat, but if you don't wish to, thats ok.
Everyone can participate at the level they are comfortable with.
the session will take place on Zoom until restrictions allow us to meet in public.
So book on, grab a cuppa and we look forward to welcoming you to Friend Shed.
