For the July’s edition of our monthly Community Breakfast we are joined by Together Co, Brighton & Hove’s leading loneliness and social health charity.

Join hosts Georgina and Anne while they share more about their mission while enjoying some excellent breakfast treats on us.

“I love talking to Shapla; she teaches me things and I teach her things. Seeing and speaking to her gives me things to talk about and makes my brain work a bit better than it used to. I would not be without her.”
