    Please be aware that due to unfortunate illness the SCAFT office will not be manned as much as usual for a while. Those who would normally have transport to sessions or who need help on a one off basis must therefore plan ahead and ensure that we are aware of your need as far in advance as possible, but by MIDDAY on the session date, at the very latest! Anyone attempting to book or change transport arrangements after this time may be disappointed. ... See MoreSee Less

Following falling attendances and the difficulties in attracting funding the Board took the decision to suspend the café meetings until adequate resources could be found to deliver a full and effective service.☹️ ...
