Our vision is for the creation of a completed integrated day and residential centre with coffee shop and book-shop, and ten additional bedrooms, training rooms, leisure and beauty facilities where we can offer a full programme of activities and support for people.

The first phase was completed with the conversion of the upper floors of 33 Vicarage Lane, and the next phase will see the conversion of the old pub area and the building of a new residential and support facilities in the basement and the old beer garden.
