Hikmat Drop-in Centre
The Drop-in Centre is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays,
located at The St Sidwell’s Community Centre, Exeter.
The Centre offers the opportunity to meet with other people from the same age group, perhaps speaking the same language and maybe from the same country. Attendants can read culturally appropriate newspapers in a variety of languages, chat, join in discussions. There is a sewing/crafts group for women, and several trips out a year.
At lunchtime you are able to order a meal which is prepared locally.
Hikmat helps clients to link up with a range of services:
• Education (including English classes)
• Benefits advice
• Footcare Service (available bi-monthly)
• Social services


• Health (we can arrange consultations with a range of health practitioners,
including NHS nurses and professional counsellors, who attend our sessions every fortnight).
