It’s springtime in the House!

And here at the House, we’re getting ready. There’s some spring-cleaning underway as we clear out the clutter, open windows, and let fresh breezes blow away the cobwebs. We’ve got some great new workshops and information sessions happening this term, and our continuing

social groups always welcome newcomers. So, whether you want to make some special hand-made Christmas cards, tile a mosaic pot, or finally figure out how to use your computer, we

have something that will suit. As always, if you need anymore information on any of the activities happening in the House, please call or email - we would be delighted to talk with you!
