Waddington Street Centre is a 42 year young charity that supports adults who are recovering from a variety of mental health problems. We believe that involving members in meaningful and stimulating group activities helps people to have a better quality of life because they feel connected, have greater meaning and purpose and are less socially isolated. A huge part of what we do happens out in the community, we need transport to get people out and about. Many of the people we support would be unable to travel to unfamiliar places without this support.
Having a mini bus is integral to the life of the centre and those who use its services.
