Join us each month at Eaton Community Library for Let’s Talk, a series of informal drop-in sessions featuring different local organisations and support services.
These sessions are designed to help community members ask questions, find information, and learn about the wide range of services available in our region.
Each month focuses on a different theme or group — from health and wellbeing to legal advice, housing, cultural support, and more. It’s a great opportunity to meet representatives face-to-face, discover new resources, and get connected with the help that’s right for you.
Everyone is welcome, bookings are encourged but not essential.
If you can book please do as it helps to keep us informed of how many to expect.
