See lots more activities at Settle Community and Business Hub e.g.

Settle Community Munchers take place on Monday and Thursday Lunchtimes at the Friends Meeting House – pop in for lunch – just donate what you can afford and have a friendly chat with others there – I suggest 12 midday to 12.30 is a good time to go. (less food left after that). Some of the fresh food they use is donated by local supermarket/shops that is near end of sell by date. Delicious soups made by the cook at Settle Community Munchers. Do call in and give it a try.
