Action Station supports the local community, primarily helping individuals to address social isolation, improve health & wellbeing, deal with poverty/debt & unemployment and enhance overall quality of life. It is a busy, well-established facility with up to 100 people per day accessing a broad range of services and activities. Our community cafe is the heart of the centre and we have training rooms, an IT suite and office accommodation which we share with partner organisations. We have recently taken on responsibility for the library adjacent to Action Station and we want to develop a host of activities to help reduce their isolation and loneliness.
