Bringing communities together – Keeping active with the DEHT group

The group brings people together through activities like coffee mornings, exercise classes, crafts, bingo and litter picking. Led by Nicola and a team of volunteers, and supported by Rotherfed (our housing partners), the group has grown into a welcoming space where people can connect, stay active and feel part of their community.
