The Meeting Place has been supporting members of the Bookham community for 10 years. We believe that no-one should feel alone if they are experiencing loneliness or isolation and we are dedicated to helping people find support or advice where needed. Our approach is to provide a welcome for all with time for all. The Meeting Place is run by a committed and friendly group of people from the local churches and friends.
