What a wonderful place, always made to feel welcome. It’s been wonderful to see the progress that Alan & Matt have made since opening the centre. We travel 50 odd miles to this centre & it’s definitely worthwhile. My husband & a couple of friends all have MS and this place definitely makes a huge difference to them. Lots of equipment & lovely staff always on hand to help. And the coffee machine is definitely a great bonus😊
