Wanted: Venue for ‘positive psychology’ 8-week course

I’m looking for a room to hire to run an 8-week course for approximately 20-30 people, held on a weekly basis ideally from early- or mid-March on either Mondays or Tuesdays from 18:30 to 20:30.

The course is called Exploring What Matters and it’s organised by a registered charity called Action for Happiness. More details here for those who might be curious…

I have taken the course myself a few months ago and now I am volunteering to run it in Forest Hill, so I’m looking for a suitable venue. I have inquired Forest Hill Pools but they haven’t got back to me. And the Methodist Church on Normanton street, but they are already booked up on both Mondays and Tuesdays. Plus, I would prefer to find a non-religious place, to avoid putting off anyone.

As mentioned above, this is not for profit and it’s run by volunteers. Attendees are encouraged to make a donation but they can take part free of charge. For this reason it’s crucial to be able to keep venue hire costs as low as possible, if not altogether free.

Any suggestion would be very welcome, thanks!
