This weekly community meal in Stretford is open to everyone looking to stay warm, reduce food and heating costs, and connect with others. Sessions take place every Tuesday at Stretford Public Hall, with a free meal served from 12:00pm. Come and relax in the old library, enjoy free coffee, tea and wifi, and tuck into a warming meal — for example, soup and bread. This winter warmer is run by volunteers. Contact Stretford Public Hall if you’d like to get involved.

The Forum Digital Drop-In is a fantastic local resource for anyone feeling left out of the digital world, struggling with a device, or wanting to access all the great reading and entertainment materials online. You’ll get free one-to-one help with your phone, computer, or tablet, including downloading apps and navigating websites. You can also listen to audiobooks, read eBooks, magazines, and newspapers. If you need help with your device, whether it’s changing a setting or just understanding it better, you’ll get support for that too.
