Day, Social and Leisure Services

If you are not currently working because of mental health problems, or have retired, you may feel that you need something to do during the day. You might be looking for somewhere to meet people, to do something interesting, and perhaps to prepare yourself for starting or returning to work. These are some of the places in Middlesbrough which can help:
