We love welcoming people and are often around in the café or gardens for a chat; you can also meet us as part of our many activities on site. These mostly take place in the downstairs Prayer Space (a lift is available).

Monday 2pm-3pm, Prayer Team meeting: Want to be one of those praying regularly for the work at Strawberry Field? Then visit us on Monday afternoons and share in this time together.

Tuesday 10.30am-12.30pm, Hopefulness Course (Six weeks): Each course aims to help participants to develop a hopefulness ‘toolkit’, including breathing and meditation techniques. We look at the sources of hopefulness and ways in which it may be encouraged and nurtured. The course runs as a rolling programme throughout the year. The next Hopefulness Course will start on Tuesday 3 October 2023. To find out more, contact Karen Carter at karen.carter@salvationarmy.org.uk
