OTR takes a bit of downtime over the Holiday period, so we wanted to give you the details:
We close on the evening of Wednesday 22nd December and re-open on Tuesday 4th January 2022.
That means all projects, groups and services connected to OTR (including Freedom, Project Zazi, Resilience Lab, Nature Works etc) take a break for that period of time. While we won’t be able to get back to you during this time, we’ll aim to reply as quickly as we can when we reopen.
A note on Hubs:
18th December – last Saturday Hub (Bristol, face to face)
20th December – last Monday Hub (Bristol, face to face)
22nd December – engagement bookings via Calendly (chats to take place online)
Weds 5th and Sat 8th January – engagement bookings via Calendly (chats to take place online)
Hubs to start from Mon 10th January in-person (Bristol and South Glos)
