The aim is to create a welcoming workshop and social space for people who are experiencing loneliness or isolation – those who may have lost a partner, are living with dementia or Alzheimer's, or have found retirement a difficult adjustment.
Our goal is to give people purpose, companionship, and a place where they feel they belong.

We need to raise funds for essential upgrades to the current workshop so we can provide a safe working environment for our community.

If you can help in any way, we'd really appreciate it.

Excited to be back in The Loading Bay in September after our little summer break. We will be making elderberry syrup at this session to help keep us strong and healthy as the seasons change! Would love to see you there - Please get in touch with any questions!

Good Morning!

Can you help us? We had a little accident and we are now missing the turntable from our Panasonic microwave. If you have a spare one or even a microwave you no longer use, we would be very grateful 😊

With Thanks from
The Loading Bay Team

join us in July for our summer session to learn all about rose medicine, taste some rose tea and make a herbal soap to take home. This will be our last session before we take a break in August, returning in September. Sessions free to attend as always and no need to book but always happy to know if you are planning to pop along 🙂

We are really excited that our roof is being fixed over the coming few weeks - and preparitory work is underway today... but this does mean we'll have fewer parking spaces available during the work.

We're open - and events and groups are going ahead as usual.

➡ Please take extra care of your children when around the site.
➡ If you cannot find a parking space in our car park, please park opposite Tiny Rebel, (not on the road directly opposite the Loading Bay).

Thank you for your patience and help as this essential work is completed!
