Christmas Notice

 

SLT office Closure over Christmas Period

 

Please note, we are having a break for most of our activities in December. Our drop-in Friday Evening Event for the London Metropolitan Brass Band will be running on Friday 19th December at 6.30pm-8.45pm at the Jean Stokes Community Centre.
No need to book, simply turn up to get involved. More details below.

Please keep an eye out for our January – March 2026 programme before the end of December.

We share below some urgent support helplines available over the Christmas period.

The SLT office will be closed from Monday 23 December and open again on Thursday 2 January, to give our staff a well-deserved rest.
The email account and phone calls will not be responded to during this period.  We ask for your understanding, as there will be some delays in getting back to you.
