Scott Mann, prospective MP for North Cornwall, was invited to attend an open day at Priory Day Centre in Bodmin. During his visit he met staff, volunteers, service users and their family.
Scott said ‘As soon as I walked up to the centre I was welcomed with an enormous smile and guided into the centre where the warm welcome continued with the added benefit of tasty refreshments.’
The centre supports 21 adults with learning disabilities of different ages and abilities to live their lives according to their needs and wishes.
The centre has fantastic facilities and they offer a wide range of activities including swimming, horse riding, ballroom dancing, drama, cooking and arts and crafts. They also visit local attractions like Mount Edgecombe and the blue reef aquarium.
The centre empowers its users and helps them build their social skills and improve their independence in the local community.
