Apothecary volunteer sessions: making medicines together for the local community and learning as we do it - please email us for info about how to join!

Upcoming session details below:

Please note: from September we are charging for these sessions to cover our costs after our main funding source has ended. You can book via Eventbrite - link below.

We will repeat the session each month so that more people can access it, so the same workshop happens on the 1st & 3rd Wednesday of each month.
