We support young people with special needs and disabilities. Currently we run a weekly wellbeing group for new families that come to the Bredbury Hotel to access as a place to engage and discuss any issues , whilst creating crafts and arts materials.

This group will also allow new families in the Bredbury area to meet their neighbours and volunteers in the community until they remain in the hotel.
