Totnes, Plymouth & the Communities within
Building Bridges
Our organisation has been part of Totnes for several decades. Totnes in its self is a diverse and eclectic town and the pervasive attitude is liberal, open and accepting. Our organisation is well known and respected within the town and as such our staff and service users are viewed very positively by the local population. This helps people to feel part of the local community.
Staff had a good knowledge and understanding of each individual. They knew how to reduce environmental stress and anticipate situations which might trigger people to become anxious and / or agitated.
