When Reuben’s Retreat first began it was ran from home, but then a very generous heart helped us to establish our very first office in Ashton-under-Lyne.
It was the ideal setting, somewhere for families to call and speak with us about their needs and perfectly placed next door to the Seraphina Centre, meaning we could hire their rooms to deliver our counselling sessions and use their well-being expertise and experienced Therapists to form a holistic support service for our beneficiaries.
After two years in that first tiny office we moved to a bigger suite in 2015, giving us a little more space for staff and volunteers but most importantly a dedicated Counselling Room and a welcome area for our families. Although The Lodge and Retreat are the charity’s forever home, our Ashton offices will always hold a special place in our hearts as it’s where the journey began. It can also more accessible for some of our families and we respect this. We will never forget the generosity of the Team at the Seraphina Centre and are proud to still be working with them today.
The Ashton office is generally open Monday to Friday (9am – 5pm), however please call on 01457 680023 before visiting so that we can make sure someone is available to see you and to help us to maintain privacy for our families.
