Our impact on the communityHUTS currently has 127 active members, over its 21 year existence this figure multiplies accordingly with many local people having benefited from being able to attend the workshop and in so doing reduce their isolation, develop their self-esteem and ultimately improve their mental health & resilience. Comments from our members include: "HUTS has given me a new life and lifted me out of the dark hole I was in" and ; "Without HUTS I wouldn't be here"
Looking for volunteers to support people who are lonely and isolated by encouraging them back into community life
