BCU Life Skills Centre

The BCU Life Skills Centre provides a safe welcome to those at a crossroads in their life. By offering a drop-in centre with hot and cold refreshments, life skills courses, one to one counselling and group work for women, we give people a good experience of community. They then use the life skills they have acquired to participate more profitably in society at large.

The BCU Life Skills Centre offers support, guidance and practical help to men and women experiencing unemployment or low income in the Borough of Bexley.

The charity's main purpose is to provide services free of charge to those experiencing disadvantage and those who are finding life difficult and who are in need of support. We have a person-centred approach and welcome all members of the community no matter what their circumstances.

Our services include the following:

• Support Group for women on Thursdays.

• Volunteer training and work experience

• Community Service provision with low cost canteen
