Our mission at The Right to Work CIC is focused on making a difference in the lives of those with learning disabilities. Working with local businesses, we provide meaningful opportunities for our ‘Supported Volunteers’ to contribute their talents, enthusiasm and willingness to learn new skills whilst at work – in doing so individuals are making a valuable contribution within the community.

At the Stacey Community Centre we are dedicated to giving a friendly and helpful service welcoming our community in all that we do.

We welcome new Association members who meet regularly once a month to promote the interests and vision of the centre. Membership is open to everyone, please contact us for the next meeting date.
