What does York Speakability do?

• There is a lot going on to get involved with! We meet once a month for a support group meeting. This meeting is the second Thursday of every month at the Burton Stone Community Centre on Evelyn Crescent from 2-4pm.

  We have speakers, entertainment, therapy and friendly conversation. The community centre can be found

• Once a month is 'Lunch Club' - a meal out, organised by the group's members. We take it in turns to organise a venue, and a good time is always had by all!

  Lunch Club takes place on the last Thursday of every month at Noon.

• On the 1st, 3rd and 5th Monday of each month at 2pm we meet for 'Coffee Chat'. We have coffee and conversation at the York city centre Spurriergate Centre. * Please note, York Speakability does not have 'Coffee Chat' during school holidays.
