An active and motivated self-help support charity where the members are helped in their efforts towards rehabilitation, independence and confidence building.
The charity was founded in 2000 and has 60 members at any one time. The charity is run by trustees, therapists and volunteers with two part-time staff.
The year is split into three terms. We have a member’s committee which gives the members an opportunity to share ideas and have a say in what the charity provides.
A carer’s support group meets regularly at the Stevenson Centre.
There are also outings organised each term to include sailing, and trips to pubs, theatres, gardens and other places of interest.
