They have
just moved to a new location at 29A Cottage St, which is much bigger than the
old space and offer a games room with an Xbox One, pool, air hockey, and
foosball table, as well as a computer lab and an arts and crafts room. There are also scheduled Clubs such as Writing Club and Cooking Class, run based
on the availability of members. The program changes based on the interests of our members,
but there is always help with homework and a place to relax
and socialize.
