Our Mission is simple...
Community in Mind will constantly strive to provide quality active services within our day centre based on support to older adults (over 65’s), Young adults with Learning Disabilities.
The day centre staff team will be appropriately trained relevant to their role within the organisation and will be equipped to enable service user choice and opportunity to socialise with other peer groups and participate in a range of stimulating recreational, creative, and physical activities.
