The Waterside Centre was formed in 1990 by Margaret Gower. It was a very different place back then, it was strictly run, those who attended were generally more able than those who attend today, so sewing meant proper dressmaking, and in the workshop, the men made things using a full range of tools. Today it is still a busy place with lots of activities going on, it is fun place to spend the day, for staff and volunteers as well as service users. Freshly prepared meals are available at minimal cost for those who wish to eat a good lunch at the centre.
