FREE TO ATTEND | Funded social dance classes for parents, grandparents and carers
Parenting or being a carer comes with its own rhytym - sometimes steady, sometimes unpredictable.
Together We Dance is a welcoming space for parents and caregivers of all genders to move, connect, and recharge through the power of social dance.
Here, dance is more than steps - it's a way to reconnect with yourself and with others who truly understand the joys and challenges of caring.
You'll find a relaxed, inclusive atmosphere where no dance experience is needed - just a willingness to show up and share space.
Each class combines gentle, beginner-friendly movement with meaningful opportunities to build community and emotional resilience.
Whether you want to ease stress, find connection, or simply enjoy the music and movement, this space is for you.
Because dance isn't just movement - it's belonging.
And every caregiver deserves a place to breathe, to move, and to be seen.

Because sometimes the best nights are the ones where you can just be yourself and enjoy the company.

The Flicks Hut is volunteer-led an independent pop up community cinema.
We carefully curate screenings of independent films that explore pressing social issues - from poverty and mental health to gender and racial equality, the NI conflict, and sexuality - sparking meaningful post-film discussions and reflection.
Alongside themed movie nights as part of our regular programme, The Flicks Hut is also available to host film screenings by request.
Saturday mornings
FREE to attend | Community gardening & outdoor wellbeing sessions
Slow down. Get grounded. Grow something together.
The Juke Yard is our small but mighty urban garden - a shared outdoor space where people come together to reconnect with nature, each other, and themselves.
Created from a once-blank concrete yard, The Juke Yard is being transformed into a welcoming, accessible green space through community effort, creativity, and care. It’s a place to get your hands in the soil, learn new skills, and enjoy the simple wellbeing that comes from being outdoors.
Sessions are relaxed and informal, with opportunities to garden, plant, build, tidy, and shape the space together at a gentle, unhurried pace. You can take part as much or as little as feels right for you - whether that’s active gardening, light tasks, or simply spending time in the fresh air.
No experience? No problem.
Everything you need is provided, and there’s no pressure to know what you’re doing. Curiosity counts more than expertise, and conversation is just as welcome as quiet focus.
The Juke Yard is about growing more than plants - it’s about connection, confidence, and shared ownership of a space that belongs to the community.
Delivered in partnership with The Conservation Volunteers (TCV)
with support from Phoenix Energy Community Fund.
