| Latest news and updates from Qube
Hello from us all at Qube!
We're still open from 9am to 5pm Monday to Fridays for anyone who would like to visit our downstairs gallery spaces and reception help desk. It's been really nice to see visitors again in the gallery and we would like to thank everyone for respecting our social distancing measures and wearing a face covering.
This month we are trialing the first of our mini indoor social groups with a maximum of 6 people coming in at a time for a cup of tea and a natter. A brand new newsletter is also going out to our members to help keep them up to date with services available. Dial-a-Ride is now back to operating five days a week. If you would like to talk to them about your transport needs please get in touch. You can contact them directly on 01691 671571 between 10am and 3pm on weekdays.
We'll be adding lots of new content to our website over the next couple of months, including exhibitions, creative ideas and stories, so keep checking back or keep an eye on our social media pages for updates!
If you would like to speak to us about anything please get in touch. You can contact us on 01691 656882 or email info@qube-oca.org.uk.
