What an exciting way for youth to connect and meet peers! There is a new group forming, the Young Adult Drop-In Group at Rosefinch Mercantile & Tea Room on Wednesdays from 1–4 pm, through to the end of March.

Your next new friend might live five minutes away. Let’s find out! We’ve just started a Young Adult Drop-In Group at Rosefinch. It is hosted by Adam, a lovely young man in our community.

Every Wednesday from 1–4 pm, from now through the end of March, you can come hang out for board games, video games, and conversations that may require explaining the entire plot of something.

Bring your niche interests, your collectables or a project you are working on. Come with a friend or come on your own. Be as chatty or as quiet as you like! We'll just be glad that you are here.💛

It’s free to attend, with food and drinks available to buy. But you don't need to spend any money to participate!

📅 Every Wednesday, 1–4 pm, until the end of March
🏡 Rosefinch Mercantile & Tea Room
🗺️ 1615 Port Medway Road, Port Medway
