Our Impact
Our impact
We are so passionate about our work, we want to create a fun and exciting place for people to come and enjoy the company of others. Our work is centred around creativity as we believe this helps people improve their mental health and personal wellbeing.
We understand that making people laugh is extremely important, we understand that helping people build friendships is special, but we are also aware we need to prove the impact we have had on people's lives. This page of the website is dedicated to showing the impact we have on the people who join us on a weekly basis.
It is a work in progress and we aim to update this page on regular basis, but please see below the feedback and difference we have on the people we welcome through our doors every week.

"Its the highlight of my week, I love it"
"You can come in as quiet as a mouse, don't speak to anyone and go off and do your own thing and then all of a sudden you are joining in on conversations, sat there having a laugh and you come our of your shell."
