Hello from the team at Realife in Orwell House in Cambridge.


We have spent 7 years making our offices and meeting rooms into a safe and friendly place for families and disabled people to have meetings and other help



We want to find new partners to turn our ideas into a Wellbeing Centre and then set up Wellbeing Centres in other places too



Here’s what we do at Orwell House already:

We run the reception area for Cambridge City Council



We do the post



Manage the meeting rooms.




Give people advice and information



Have sessions from special therapists who help with counselling, mindfulness,
ADHD and ASC



Support for Experts by Experience to do Care and Treatment Reviews for people with a learning disability or ASC



We need money to pay a new Development Manager to make sure the Wellbeing Centre plan works


The new Development Manager will help set up Wellbeing Centres in 5 towns in our area and then as many as possible all over the country
