Centre is back in business

Highbarn Resource Centre relaunch: Councillor John Battye with (l-r) Melanie Bell Manager of Wellbeing Service, Rebecca Kershaw Officer of Wellbeing Service, service user Stephen Betts and his mum Ann Betts, Jean Wild Day Service Manager and June Rainford Head of Provider Services.

IT was smiles all round as High Barn Resource Centre in Royton opened its doors following a revamp.

The facility, which provides specialist dementia care and care for adults with complex needs, offers a wide range of activities to 20 people giving carers support and respite.

The reopening is the latest step in the shake-up of social services in Oldham.
