A new centre adopting a 'person-centred approach' for those with learning disabilities, physical or sensory impairments has opened on Haverhill high street.
Nathalie Gilder, 36, established Thrive Hub in Haverhill to provide a safe environment for adults with learning disabilities to socialise and make friends.
"It's so important that we work with everyone in the community by partnering with other organisations," she said.
"We all want the same outcome, which is to help these individuals."
Thrive Hub celebrated its official opening day on Monday, April 3, for an Easter-themed set of workshops and activities.
"Thrive adopts a person-centred approach," Mrs Gilder added.
"There's something for everybody and we're keen on being flexible to suit everyone's needs."
The Haverhill high street-based hub boasts facilities to practise cooking skills and art and craft projects.
It also contains a pool table, an air hockey table and a media room, complete with a TV, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and computer.
Mrs Gilder added: "Everybody is welcome for a free taster day and there are lots of friendly faces who are here to help."
