We have another exciting update for our Pathways to Independence centre! Here’s a sneak peek at the colour theme for the centre and reception area.

Thoughtful Design:

Although MAIN has extensive experience, we recently attended a conference focused on interior design for autistic individuals. This has helped us ensure that our new features are not only appropriate but also create a calm and welcoming environment with reduced barriers.

We are committed to making our centre a place where everyone feels comfortable and supported. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to make progress!

We are thrilled to announce that building work has officially begun on the renovations to expand our centre, Pathways to Independence Centre. This state-of-the-art facility is designed to empower young people and adults by providing them with the skills they need to lead more independent lives.

Key Features of the Centre:

  • Accessible Kitchen: A fully equipped kitchen where individuals can learn cooking and meal preparation skills.
  • Café Area: A welcoming space for social interaction and community engagement.
  • Laundry Room: A practical area for learning essential laundry skills.
  • Reception: A friendly and accessible reception area to greet visitors and provide information.

Our goal is to create a supportive environment where individuals can develop practical skills, build confidence, and foster independence. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive, and MAIN’s Pathways to Independence is a significant step towards making this a reality.

We invite you to join us in supporting this incredible initiative. Whether through donations, or spreading the word, your involvement can make a huge difference in the lives of those we serve.

Stay tuned for more updates as we progress with the renovations. Together, we can build a brighter future for our community!
