Establishment of a Specialist Day Centre
for Individuals with Disabilities & Learning Difficulties
Faces for All, founded out of a need & opportunity to convert a local community asset, which would bring much needed support, care and therapeutic input to high need individuals in South Warwickshire.
Welcome to Faces for All
Refurbishing the Old Library, Alcester into a fully accessible day centre
A Community Hub for Individuals with Disabilities
Faces For All was founded in response to both necessity and opportunity, with the objective of converting a local community asset into a facility that delivers essential support, care, and therapeutic services to individuals with significant needs in the heart of South Warwickshire.
Currently, no comparable facility exists within a one-hour driving radius. The Old Library, located in the centre of Alcester Town Centre, has been unoccupied for over a decade. Faces For All has engaged in close collaboration with Alcester Town Council, Warwickshire County Council, and various local, regional, and national elected officials to affirm the critical and urgent need for this service within our community.
Public engagement sessions and community surveys have definitively indicated strong local support for this initiative, reflecting a pronounced willingness among residents to endorse the repurposing of the Old Library, even among those who may not directly make use of the services provided.
