An excellent centre. Open Monday to Friday. Used by multiple agencies/groups . The building is fully accessible and has disabled parking spaces
Inside is Nibbles Cafe which offers hot and cold food /drinks, these are made to order by a fantastic team of people.
There is also an award winning rear courtyard garden available to eat outside (in warmer weather).
Disability first's office is now based in a separate fully accessible building at the rear of the main building, where they offer benefit form completion, aswell as help and advice to the disabled and their families.

Pop in the centre and have a brew everyone's welcome to use the Nibbles Cafe again !!

Friendly place, helpful, next door to the light lounge which is a much needed and used facility on the file coast.

Fantastic clean place friendly staff and volunteers, and a gorgeous cafe in the middle of it, made to order, with a phenomenal menu, from a quick snack to a full meal. All made by disabled people learning catering called Nibbles, a must for the absolutely gorgeous food to die for. The cafe operates as a warm space in the winter months.

This place was brilliant. The cafe is excellent, all the staff are very nice that we have come to know from the other Nibbles cafes at Anchorsholme Library and The Crematorium cafe - Sam, Jessica, Ellie and Oscar. Saw all our favourite Green Team who do the gardening- Lee, Connor, Liam, Paul, Michelle, John and otgers who's names I cannot remember. The food was exceptionally presented by Mark, Kelly, Duane and several others.

Attended for a medical review. Receptionist was very helpful. Lots of amenities including on site parking, nice little cafe with good food and really inexpensive, small library and rooms for hire. NHS staff and disabled volunteers very helpful and kind. Great coffee too

I went there to do a course. I found the staff were amazing especially in the cafe which was manned by disabled youngsters who did a fantastic job. The centre should be applauded for what it does to help all disabled to work and live as independent a life as they can. I only spent a couple of hours there but while I was there I found everyone warm and accommodating. I would certainly recommend everyone go visit even if it's just for a cup of tea 😁👍

I attended for ADOS. A shed office. I was not optimistic and anticipated that I was not going to get answers. I arrived early and was seen . The two ladies I saw made me feel as comfortable as possible. My assessment was not grueling, I did not have to sit and justify or wonder if I am believed. When I left not only did they give me answers but felt a sense of hope that had eluded me my whole life. My life is forever changed. If you get an appointment I urged you to attend, it could change your life too. Thank-you so much.
