SPELTHORNE MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION 

We run a day centre in Spelthorne for people (aged 18-65 at referral) with mental health problems. This is a social centre with therapeutic classes in e.g. art, crafts, woodwork, dressmaking, cooking and relaxation. Two minibuses are used for daily transport and regular outings. The centre is funded by a charity shop.

Financial issues to consider:
