What we do
The Day Care project is about more than activities. It provides men with somewhere they can feel comfortable, meet others and ask for support when they need it.
For some attendees, the Sangat Centre provides an important opportunity to talk to others and reduce isolation. For others, it is a place to learn new things and maintain independence.
