Centre's Mission Statement Effective Mental Health Support through Life Skills and Opportunities
The Waddington Street Centre offers support and opportunities to people in the North Durham area who experience enduring mental health problems. The Centre provides a wide range of quality services within a welcoming environment. Waddington Street Centre is an independent, voluntary sector organisation where service users, volunteers and staff work closely together to improve the quality of people's lives, support recovery and self-development and make care in the community a reality.
