It began by offering recreational and cultural facilities to the public and served as temporary first aid stations and industrial exhibition venues when needed. Today, our focus lies in providing rehabilitation services for individuals with disabilities within the premises of this building. This includes sheltered workshops and residential services. For our service users, the Bridges Street Centre is more than just a place they visit – it is a home.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
