Open day at support centre

A NEWLY-modernised centre for people with mental health needs at Warrington held an open day to show the community its work and facilities.
And its new social enterprise, the Creative Crusts sandwich bar, was launched on the day and provided refreshments.
The Creative Support Centre invited the community and stakeholders to see its work. There was a display of arts and crafts, details of activities and information on volunteering for service users.
The centre has been refurbished with help from Warrington Borough Council. It now offers a comfortable lounge area with pool and television, a computer suite and information on local groups and activities.
There is a meeting room, two activity rooms, office, snack bar and cafe, and a professional kitchen for Creative Crusts.
Activities include a weekday lunch time drop-in, craft group, young people’s group, book club and relaxation sessions.
Creative Crusts will offer a range of sandwiches, drinks and snacks to businesses and people in Warrington.
“Creative Crusts aims to help people in Warrington who have mental health needs to build a brighter future by running a successful sandwich business that provides opportunities for training, employment and skills development, and which promotes the inclusion and well-being of its volunteers.”
