Free courses, activities and groups are on offer every week from baby massage, speech and language support to messy play.
Families are welcome with children of all ages from conception, through childhood to adolescence and even older if your child has a special need.
Women’s Health Drop in

If you would like to acquire new covid-19 testing kits, please bear in mind that Coronavirus (COVID-19) tests are no longer free for most people.
You can get free NHS tests if you have a health condition which means you're eligible for COVID-19 treatments.
You may also be able to get free NHS tests if:
- you're going into hospital
- you work in healthcare or adult social care
If this doesn’t apply to you, you should be able to access tests for a fee at a pharmacy near you or online.
