Facilitating Access to Services
Given the rural nature of the area incompassed by the project etc the Centre promotes accessibility to relevant support and therapeutic services through;

Provision of transport to enable parents and children to attend programmes in the Centre or to accompany them to key health and social care appointments, which are usually held in Derry City and Belfast.

This has major implications for families, particularly those on low incomes who do not have access to private transport and for whom inadequate and infrequent public transport is an inappropriate option.

The result is that in many cases and due to other circumstances such as low motivation, cost, childcare, job commitments and family support issues, families are facilitated within the Centre by hosting for example, regular speech and language therapy groups/ appointments, child mental health assessments and treatments, contact visits for looked after children, and Education Welfare Officer support for children with school attendance difficulties.
The benefits of such a one-stop sevice have to be seen.
