In November we launched
evening GAP groups for Making Tracks participants offering
1:1 support so that participants can enjoy social
activities together that they may not otherwise get to do,
such cinema, shopping, meals out or bowling.
They are a big
hit! |

Phase One, which will be open by the end of the year, will have a meeting space, changing room, kitchen, toilets and two adjoining day rooms - one messy area for art, and as a dining room, and the other for IT, TV and other activities.
Funding is being sought for Phase
Two , which will have a spa pool,
changing room, relaxation area, interactive room,
treatment room and outdoor
sitting area.
