Making Space
Making Space is a charity established in Warrington in 1982 that provides services for people with mental health conditions and their carers.[1] It has about 1000 employees. It uses Earned Wage Access, which gives staff the chance to access their pay immediately and so avoid the stress of overdrafts.[2] It has 22 supported living apartments for rent in the historic Academy building on Bridge Street, Warrington. [3] It also runs Psychological Wellbeing Services. During the COVID-19 pandemic in England the counselling and therapy services were forced to work on line, which proved to be more effective.[4] Its hospital Monet Lodge in Withington was put in special measures by the Care Quality Commission in May 2021.[5] It runs a supported housing scheme in Bury, Greater Manchester.[6] It took over Footsteps, a charity supporting families affected by substance dependency in St Helens, Merseyside in 2021 as its first subsidiary.[7] References
