We live in a world where everyone is encouraged to improve themselves and achieve. We soon discover that in society this is not always possible. Not everyone has the same opportunities or encouragement to develop as an individual. The Maybury Open Door centres have been established to help and support people who are often perceived as being disadvantaged. Disadvantaged through either disability or social difficulties. This makes a difference by providing opportunities so that these people can have a helping hand to improve their lives, enabling and empowering them to develop to their full potential.
