Mr Herbert said: “I was delighted to open the Millstone Day Centre’s new building.

“I was made to feel very welcome and enjoyed meeting the team, customers and visitors.”

The day centre works with customers who have learning difficulties, autism and mental health issues.

The facilities help to support independent living through a range of activities that develop skills and encourage both self-esteem and confidence.

A growth in customer numbers meant that the day centre needed to move to a larger building so that they could provide more activities and sessions. Mr Herbert and Mr Griffiths were given a tour of the new facilities that now include a sensory room, IT suite and kitchen area.
