What We Do

OUR VISION is to develop ond operate a direct access day centre for the most vulnerable residents of Shrewsbury, offering them advice and support in a warm and welcoming environment.

We will offer comfort whenever we can, and will always care. We will try to help the vulnerable and those who feel excluded from society back onto their feet and encourage in them the self confidence and self sufficiency to cope for the present and to fend for themselves in the future.

What You Can Do

Volunteering
We are always looking for volunteers (aged 16+) from all walks of life. The only requirement is a non judgmental nature and willingness to help those in need or distress.
