WWDACT Coffee Catch Up

we are back for another year of our crip chats over chai WHAT TO EXPECT Join our community facilitators in meeting other members to chat over some chai (or any beverage your tastebuds fancy on a Saturday afternoon) No need to stress if small talk isn’t your jam, we have plenty of topics to kickstart some conversation, including the card game 'we're not really strangers', plus drinks and snacks are provided! So come along, we are keen to meet you all 😊 VENUE INFORMATION We will be setting up in DKB Hall in Hawdon Place in Dickson, next door to cafe stepping stone. This is so we can mitigate some of the sensory overwhelm of cafes. Online Menu: Dickson Dietary options available incl. vegan, gluten free, and dairy free. ACCESSIBILITY INFORMATION Parking: There are two disabled parking spots in the front parking area, curb cuts and level ground lead to the cafe entrance. overflow parking is available through the dickson pool car park, but this requires a longer walk on uneven ground, so we recommend trying to park in the hawdon place parking area if possible.
