Mill Bank Wellbeing Centre has marked 30 years of supporting for homeless families in crisis.The service, provided by Places for People, helps families overcome the barriers to living life in the community, including debt, mental health issues, substance misuse, domestic violence, seeking refuge, and child services involvement.
Throughout its history, Mill Bank has evolved to meet the changing needs of its families. The centre expanded its services, adding The ARC – a garden office that provides a private space for customers to receive counselling, art therapy, and support. It also opened its doors to local agencies, offering them free space to provide their services promptly and efficiently, avoiding long waiting lists for vulnerable families.
This service is one of 30 nationwide services from Places for People that looks to support people through difficulties including those who are at risk of homelessness. Furthermore, recent data from The Department of Health and Social Care predicts that the demand for supported homes in England will increase by 125,000 by 2030.
