Lord-Lieutenant of Shropshire opens new craft & wellbeing centre at Willowdene

The Lord-Lieutenant of Shropshire, Mrs Anna Turner, was delighted to be asked to open the new purpose built craft and wellbeing centre at Willowdene, this new facility would not have been possible without the support of their CSR partner Aico for their ongoing support in making this project possible.

Founded in 1988, and built on a Christian foundation, Willowdene prides itself on providing an inclusive, safe environment where men and women can identify, acknowledge, and tackle the issues of their past so that they can understand their present, and build their future.

To this end, we have established a track record of working in partnership with private, public and third-sector organisations to develop and deliver innovative and effective services to break generational cycles of offending, homelessness, substance misuse, mental health issues and unemployment. 

Based in the heart of West Mercia, Willowdene provides an opportunity for lasting life transformation through a proven approach to rehabilitation, that includes trauma-informed therapy, training, work-experience and resettlement.

At the heart of Willowdene’s mission is a commitment to ensure that students have access to interventions that will enable them to step into the life they were made for.
