Tuesdays St John’s Church, St John’s Rd, Newbury RG14 7PY
This is purely an OUTREACH SESSION only. Here we offer a wide range of vital services to support those facing challenges: Being homeless or having difficulties with housing shouldn’t prevent you from getting the health and support you need.
At our clinics, you can meet the Community Nurses if you need help with a mental health or physical condition.
All our outreach services are free of charge, ensuring support for those who need it most.
