 Taster Days

We are based on the Earth Balance site in Northumberland, on the outskirts of Bedlington. Our unit is an accessible single story building with partitioned training and retail areas.

 

People can be introduced to ReDress by means of four Taster Days, arranged to suit the requirements of the individual. Potential Group Members will work one-to-one with a named Key Worker and have opportunities to get to know other Group Members, learn about what we do and how we do it and carry out a range of practical and business activities, before deciding whether they would like a permanent place.

 

For further details or an informal discussion about what we can offer, please contact Joanne Jordan or any of the Team.
