At Our Centre

A warm welcome is assured when you visit our Mappin Street Centre. We moved back to our new centre in 2009 after being in temporary accommodation for 2 years whilst our original 1930's building was demolished and our new centre constructed. It is a modern, welcoming building and is the hub of many activities and services.

Our café is available for our clients and their guests from Monday to Friday and is open from 9am to 3:30pm. A wide range of tasty hot and cold snacks and drinks are available including a number of specials that change on a regular basis. ‘Read More’
