Exciting news!

We're pleased to share that Making Space has been awarded a contract by Stockport Council to deliver community-based Mental Health Prevention and Enablement Service across Stockport.

We’ll be continuing the fantastic work currently provided by Stockport Progress And Recovery Centre (SPARC) and Pure Innovations. We are proud to be given the opportunity to build on everything they have achieved as current the providers of these services.

The centre which currently operated by SPARC, will transfer over to us as part of the change process. So if you’re already receiving support, you can expect the same warm welcome in familiar surroundings.

We are looking forward to getting to know everyone soon.
