You will not be surprised to hear that both our walking for health group and the Godalming Art Space have had to be cancelled for the time being. We will repost here as soon as it is recommended that such activities are safe to recommence. In the meantime, it is still acceptable at the moment to go for a walk in order to keep fit, but please avoid mixing with people when you do this - it is better to go for a walk on your own, or with someone you live with or need to be in re

We are making some changes in light of recent government advice regarding Covid-19. In order to reduce transmission of the virus in the community we are going to be conducting appointments over the telephone or by video as much as possible.
