Arts & Creativity
We believe that everybody should have the opportunity to take part in creative wellbeing activities. The Create Place is our flexible community arts space. It is a launch pad for starting a creative project that benefits your community, and a space for people to be together, to share skills, to create, and to have fun.
Wellbeing
We offer a range of affordable wellbeing activities and clinics to support fitness, self-expression and relaxation for everyone. Try out our sessions and find something that works for you, with support from our fantastic practitioners!
Our charity boutique
Ayoka is the St Margaret’s House charity boutique — a treasure trove, full to the brim with secondhand delights. It's a great place to get your hands on affordable designer and vintage clothes, homewares, antiques, DVDs, CDs, and books. You will find us next door at 23 Old Ford Road. See you there!
