Promoting ABILITY
The aim of the Maybury Centre is to provide opportunities
for able-bodied and disabled people to work together to support social need in
their local community. It is keen to promote the ABILITY of disabled people and
to encourage them to take an active role.
The MAYBURY CENTRE is based in
Harlow
and is managed by a team of MRCT Community Workers and Voluntary Assistants. The
centre is a community drop in resource which welcomes adults from 18+ years. It
seeks to promote community spirit and integration.
Maybury is based at two locations in Harlow
