We all want to find places that feel comfortable, make us feel secure, that feels like home.

That's why the people we support at Mundy Street are so thankful to have the Infinite Wellbeing Cafe right in the heart of Heanor. 💖

Finding a welcoming space can feel difficult when you are balancing sensory needs, social difficulties or have specific support needs.

Staff member Lianne said:
"We love seeing how much our groups look forward to these visits each week, and if we're being honest, our support workers enjoy the occasional cheeky cake too!"

A huge thank you to the wonderful staff at Infinite Wellbeing for always making us feel so welcome. Your kindness and support help make every visit a special one. 🫶

Day service doesn't only take place in service.

Our Old Fire Station day service have enjoyed so many day trips, and really made the most of the nice weather this summer.

Pictured is from a trip to Matlock, where the people we support embraced the outing with enthusiasm, excitement and humour.

It was a wonderful day out, thank you to everyone who made it happen! ⭐
