Update on Monthly Community Hub Drop-ins in Dorchester

Mid Dorset Primary Care Network (PCN) would like to let our community know about some important changes to the monthly Community Hub drop-ins.

Unfortunately, the drop-ins previously held on the 4th Wednesday of every month will no longer be taking place. Due to staffing challenges, it has not been sustainable to continue running these sessions in their current format.

However, support for local residents is still available:

• Weekly Wellbeing Drop-in at Dorchester Library
  Thanks to The Lantern Trust, a new weekly wellbeing drop-in will be available at Dorchester Library every Monday from 10am–1pm, starting 15th September. This will provide a regular space for people to access wellbeing support and advice.

• Dorchester Carers Nook
  For unpaid carers, the Dorchester Carers Nook will continue as usual on the 2nd Wednesday of every month. More information can be found here: Dorchester Carers Nook.

We’d like to thank everyone who has attended and supported the Community Hub drop-ins, and we encourage you to make use of the new and ongoing services available in Dorchester.

The Dorchester Carers Nook - 2nd Wednesday of every month - 10am-12pm - at Dorchester Connect Day Centre

Open to unpaid carers across the area, these monthly sessions offer a chance to connect, recharge, and access local support. Booking required for cared-for activities.
