Hadston House announces new winter youth service and food nights
Hadston House is launching initiatives aimed at providing warm, welcoming spaces, hot food and opportunities for people to come together during the colder months.
From October, Hadston House will introduce a new Youth Service winter offer, giving local young people access to a safe and supportive environment.
The organisation is also developing the return of its popular Winter Food Nights, which have previously provided local residents with an affordable and welcoming opportunity to enjoy a hot early-evening meal while spending time with others.
Scott Dickinson MBE, Lead Director at Hadston House, said: “Winter can be a difficult time for people of all ages, and we want Hadston House to continue being somewhere people know they can come through the door and receive a warm welcome.
“We’re also working on bringing back our Winter Food Nights. We’ve offered these previously and know how important it can be to have somewhere local to enjoy a hot early-evening meal, have a chat and spend some time with other people.
“These aren’t complicated ideas. They’re about listening to our community and providing practical support where we can.”
The initiatives form part of Hadston House's wider work to tackle isolation, support families and young people, and ensure practical community services remain available throughout the winter.
Scott added: “We have a brilliant team of staff and volunteers at Hadston House who work incredibly hard throughout the year, and these new offers will build on everything they already do seven days a week.
“We’ll be announcing the full details, dates and times shortly, and I’m really looking forward to seeing both initiatives get underway.”
