About MCH
Mid Cornwall Hub (MCH) provides day opportunities for adults with learning and/or physical disabilities,based centrally in the Wheal Northey area of St Austell. We offer a warm, welcoming environment and operate from a fully accessible, wheelchair-friendly ground-floor building, ensuring that all service users feel comfortable and included.
Our outdoor area is a vibrant space where individuals can enjoy activities such as football, socialising with friends and peers, and participating in group gatherings. During warmer weather, we host outdoor BBQs and lunch events that foster connection and community. Safety is a top priority, and we strive to create an environment that meets the needs of all.
Our dedicated team is passionate about delivering person-centred support, ensuring that each individual’s experience is tailored to their unique needs and aspirations. At MCH, we are committed to empowering those we support and enhancing their quality of life.
Our fully accessible facilities and core hours of service are 9.30am – 4pm, Monday to Friday. We often open out of core hours for events.
We promote a strengths-based perspective, emphasising the unique abilities of each individual and their integration within their communities. This approach fosters empowerment, confidence, and meaningful connections, helping individuals thrive in their surroundings.
At MCH, we are dedicated to embedding a strengths-based approach in every aspect of our work. This philosophy helps individuals build resilience and confidence, empowering them to navigate their daily lives, whether within the centre or in their wider community.
MCH provides meaningful opportunities for individuals with learning disabilities to develop independence and social skills. These activities are designed not only to enrich their experiences within the centre but also to encourage active participation in their community. With the support of our in-house transport, groups of individuals can explore areas beyond their immediate surroundings, discovering new communities and engaging in opportunities that broaden their horizons.
Our core values and principles revolve around promoting independence and empowering individuals to make choices that lead to positive outcomes, all while ensuring safety and well-being. We achieve this by fostering inclusion and actively engaging individuals in pursuing their goals and aspirations.
We prioritise open and effective communication, tailoring our approach to each person's preferred method. This may include verbal prompts, sign language such as Makaton, or interpreting body language to fully understand the message they wish to convey. Listening and understanding are integral to our approach, as we believe that every individual has a voice that deserves to be heard.
Our dedicated team is unwavering in its commitment to supporting individuals in using their voice to advocate for themselves. Where assistance is needed, we ensure they are empowered to express themselves and be listened to, fostering confidence, respect, and meaningful connections. At MCH, we strive to create an environment where everyone can thrive.
