Manor and Castle Development Trust (MCDT) provides cradle to grave support to the local community, including access to employment, training, education and health and wellbeing.

We work with our partners to give local people opportunities to contribute to their community whilst improving their own lives. We are the lead partner for the People Keeping Well partnership, working with a network of local organisations in the Manor/Castle and Arbourthorne wards. We all work together to improve the health and wellbeing of the local community. We can support you to improve your health, get more active, get out and meet people, learn new things, get support into employment and cope with life issues.

We run a wide range of activities and have people who can work with you to find the right support for you. Our work is often called Social Prescribing. We have a Health and Wellbeing team that can offer you Social Prescribing services. The team can help you access free support including physical fitness activities. We'll introduce you to social groups and activities, one-to-one advocacy support with housing benefits, finances, transport, attending appointments, making friends and getting more out of life.
