A modern, purpose-built resource hub for adults with learning disabilities has been officially opened.

 

Greenfield Park on the Noble’s Hospital site in Braddan is the new home for a range of adult day service facilities which were previously spread over several locations. 

 

The Tall Trees Resource Centre was officially opened yesterday by Minister for Health and Social Care David Ashford MHK and Head of Adult Social Care Operations Jonathan Carey.

 

The new £5m facility offers an expanded range of activities and opportunities for service users, replacing Eastcliffe in Douglas which served as a day centre for many years.

 

The workshops, where clients are supported in developing a range of skills from woodwork to weaving are now housed in the Greenfield Park Industrial Centre, while a garden centre, shop and café, also run as mini enterprises under the Greenfield Park name are located nearby. 

 

The dedicated Centre is a long-term investment in day facilities for adults with learning disabilities.
