The old library


We have recently opened a bespoke day service at the newly adapted Old Library Building Glanamman. This service aims to be a specialist day service primarily for service users with Autism. A wide array of service users however can benefit from the warm and friendly service which is tailored to be highly structured. Some of the goals of our service are to support our service users to actively socialise and engage in their respective communities, to develop and enhance new and existing skills to facilitate greater independence.
