Wherever possible our activities are based in and focused upon community venues.
We recognise that people may choose not to access any of our centre based activities, and we strive to tailor make support that promotes integration and inclusion.
However it is important to recognise the value that our resource centres offer.
Our aim is to provide services that directly reflect the needs and wishes of those of who use them including opportunities to socialise and maintain friendships, or to enjoy some quiet time and space.
Each resource centre specialises in offering specific outcome focused sessions.
