BAND is an umbrella group of community drop-in centres which are aimed at people who experience stress, anxiety, depression and other problems. The drop-ins provide a friendly and informal meeting place and a range of recreational and educational activities that aim to interest the members. Teas and coffees are always available and lunches are served at the drop-ins which are open Mon to Fri during the day. Each drop-in has staff and volunteers and aims to promote member participation in the running and management of each centre.
