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!

We love to celebrate positive feedback at MAIN – Well done Daisy

Daisy, has been working for MAIN since January and is one of our key workers in our Durham Post Diagnostic Support Service

Daisy has received some wonderful feedback recently whilst supporting our clients in our Post diagnostic Support Service

Daisy advocated on behalf of a client to support her to access police services and developed a personalised communication profile.

‘This is so soothing and helpful. Thank you, Daisy’ 

Daisy checked in on a client whose family member is ill in health and referred to Talking therapy

‘Thank you, Daisy for today’s conversation was very much appreciated’ 

Daisy contacted a client before their appointment with another service. Daisy called to let him know what to expect from his appointment.

‘Hello Daisy, thank you very much it will make me less anxious’
