#Thrive drop-ins change to same-day appointments from 25 November

#Thrive currently offers two drop-in clinics every Tuesday and Thursday from 12–4pm.

From 25 November 2025, drop-ins will move to a same-day appointment system. Families will need to call 0161 529 7458 to book.

Walk-ins will no longer be accepted, please call ahead.

• Call on Tuesday between 9–11am, for a Tuesday appointment between 12-4pm.
• Call on Thursday between 9–11am for a Thursday appointment between 12-4pm.

Our final drop-in will take place on Thursday 13 November.

The following week, there will be no drop-ins or appointments on Tuesday 18 or Thursday 20 November.

The new appointment system begins on Tuesday 25 November.

We are also looking to introduce similar same-day appointments at community venues across Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale.
