FEEDBACK FOR Holly House Community Resource Centre – Grinds
Read more
“The grinds in Holly House are always amazing, and it is such a homely place. For the tutors they are the sweetest, truly lovely, kind, approachable and always ready to help. Finally for Ben he is the main man with a loving soul as he greets us every day making sure we are okay and if you want anything especially making sure the place is nice and warm for us after coming in after school. So my overall experience with Holly House and doing grinds here is wonderful.”
