Benchill Community Centre’s Laugh & Lunch Sessions are taking a pause and a reset.

It will close after the session on the 26th June until 24th July whilst we have some building work done in the Centre.

Once we re-open it will be in a new home with a new name and a new way of working so that we can continue to support those most in need.

The BCC team thank you for your patience and understanding
