Know we are here

We are here so that disabled people and their families have somewhere to turn if they need help in any situation.

Our centre is now closed to the public

Our centre will be closed to the public from Thursday 5th November 2020 due to the latest government guidelines. There are some exceptions which we'll communicate directly with individual service users and customers.

We'll update this website with further information soon.
