The aim of our Caring, Connected Dollar activity is to ensure everyone in our community feels supported and included. We work with local partners and volunteers to provide a range of services including our Volunteer Driver Service, community library, and activities supporting parents with pre-school children.
Please get in touch if you would like to get involved or set up a new group or activity: helen@dollarcdt.com

Weekly community cafe at the hive
We're delighted to be offering a weekly community cafe at the Hive every Wednesday from 2-4pm. 'A Book, a Brew and a Blether' is open to everyone, whether you want to come and read a library book with a cup of tea, or chat to friends old and new over a coffee with cake.
We have board games available, a crafting table where you can knit or crochet in the company of others and an art table for those who wish to bring their own materials to paint, draw or sketch.
