Our Development Project

The transformation of the Vassall Centre into the first barrier-free facility of its kind in the UK will provide a template and the inspiration for others to follow.

The Vassall Centre Trust is led by disabled people. Disabled people are actively involved in all aspects of barrier-free design. Work is carried out thoughtfully to avoid disruption to services. Donations are quickly put to use to provide immediate results and benefits .
