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. 🫶
