This is currently open for people to visit for a day unit and regular treatment and exercise to treat there condition. This is centre that patients go well unwell or to give carers a rest.

The stories coming in about what Favell House means to your families are heartbreaking. I am busy drafting formal letters to the council based on these experiences.

TOTAL DISGRACE. These people have enough to deal with without the government making their lives harder.

This place is a lifeline for so many families. My brother goes here and he finally has some independence. Dont take this away from them!

Ridiculous decision. Where are these people supposed to go now? The council obviously has no clue how hard this is for us.

Favell House is essential. Cutting costs here is just cruel to the people who need it most.

Keep it open. These therapies are the only thing keeping many of these folks mobile.

My mum relies on the respite care so she can actually get a decent nights sleep. Without the unit she will burn out completely. Stop these cuts.
