The council confirmed today that funding for The Morven Day Centre is secured and operations will continue as normal. I am now finalizing the transition plan with local officials to ensure this budget allocation remains prioritized in future cycles.

Just been going for a few weeks now and it's the best place in Kilmarnock for mental health issues people can go and talk to other people's with the same problem. This is why they there should keep it open for mental health issues

We cannot afford to stop supporting the many people that depend on the Morven Day Centre, who would otherwise become desperate and end up requiring more serious (and expensive) help (A&E, long-term suffering and disease). Don't put them through this loss, look into your heart!

It is a vital service for so many. I volunteer at connect call and several of our clients are distraught at the possibility the Morven Centre may close. It is a service which would heavily impact on users if it were to close. Please rethink!!!

This is a disgrace from east ayrshire, the sheer amount of upheaval for these poor vulnerable people of Kilmarnock and surrounding areas during the cost of living crisis should keep councelers up at night. If the finding is cut it just shows how unempathetic this council really is!

This centre is far to important to close places like this help hundreds of people through the darkest of times. They helped my son improve his life and wellbeing. Why do councils shut places like this it makes no sense. Let’s keep the morven open
