We now have a brand new Mini bus
Our old mini bus was over ten years old, but, with the help of grants from the ‘Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund’ and ‘Breckland Council Match Funding’ via Norfolk Community Foundation, we have been able to match fund and purchase a brand new and upgraded vehicle with wheelchair accessible tail lift. This vehicle has been specially adapted to meet the individual needs of our Service Users. It will enable us to continue to collect service users from in and around Attleborough and transport them to the Centre on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday each week. We currently collect people from as far and wide as; Hingham, Wymondham, Great Ellingham, East Harling, Banham and Old Buckenham as well as Attleborough itself.
