FELLING VOLUNTEER LIBRARY

We facilitate library services by providing a hub of activities for the public in general, mainly focusing on the immediate surrounding of The Felling. These include weekly Rhyme Time for preschoolers, computers with internet access help in looking for employment, applying for Universal Credit etc. Everything we do is centred on improving the local area.
