Great News- an event with Dovewell!?

About the Town has secured an experienced and qualified trainer to co-host a mental health awareness drop-in day aimed to help and support those who are suffering from mental health issues, or family members of those suffering.  The day will offer help and advice, as well as some practical training on how to perform CPR to both babies, children, and adults.  We may even have some special guest appearances! 

This event will be informative and interesting – and anyone of any age is welcome to attend at zero cost.

We will be sharing much more information over the coming weeks so please follow us on Facebook or Instagram to keep up to date!  A huge thank you to local resident Lynn Roberts, for donating the funds to cover the cost of the day.
