The pandemic has given many of us some experience of isolation. As a result, we probably place more value than ever before on spending time with friends and family, or just feeling being part of our local community.
This winter we have identified over 100 community drop-in points across North Lanarkshire that you can use as a base to meet others or just to get out of the house for a while.
Use the map or table below to locate community drop-in locations near where you live. Most of the facilities listed have free tea and coffee available.
