Together We Can Make a Difference

PODS Charity (Parents Opening Doors)

Early in 2022 it became obvious that despite having not long moved in, we were rapidly outgrowing our current office space. With no sign of our database growth slowing and many ideas in the pipeline, the decision was taken to find new bigger premises.
The long search began, we were looking for somewhere that had a large flexible amount of space on the ground floor, self-contained, accessible with outside space, in a central location with free parking and good public transport links. How difficult could it be! It turned out to be extremely difficult indeed, finally after 6 months of searching and many properties viewed, we finally stumbled on 1 Hawksworth road, we knew instantly this was the place

 

Our move started at the beginning of October and we had completely settled in by mid-November. Our new home boasts a permanent sensory room, as well as a room dedicated to our clubs such as Minecraft, Lego and coding, a further large indoor space for physical activities/games, it also benefits from an enclosed private garden area and kitchen facilities, perfect for life skills.

Visitors to our Hub have commented on its welcoming and calming environment with a light airy feel. Children and young adults have been enjoying the new space to run around in and explore, with many adoring the new sensory space.

Our vision is to have a one stop shop where families can visit a welcoming and inclusive place to access information, advice, support, activities, to enhance their health and well being.

All of our rooms are available to hire out, including private hire of our sensory space, please complete the room booking form or email a booking request to louise@podstelford.org

Our Hub is usually open Monday – Friday 9.30-2.30, we recommend you check before traveling in case we are out at an event, PODS Hub, 1 Hawksworth Road, Central Park, Telford, TF2 9TU.
