Stop Press............. MOIRA’S CHARITY MOVES TO MAVISBANK! The start of October 2010....exactly 10 years from the start up of the Moira Anderson Foundation in its Monklands setting....sees the charity move house to 3 Mavisbank Street. While it is only a few streets away from the present location on Alexander Street, the shift to a new base will provide us with more than double the space, an excellent, highly professional office environment for our ever expanding staff, and a caring and accessible centre for a variety of client groups. What does it mean for our services? We will be able to widen the menu of what is on offer for clients who have suffered child sexual abuse, whether children, young people or adults, and provide much more customised, safer and attractive surroundings. This includes an outdoor recreational area, and more parking facilities. We will be able to provide dedicated areas within our new centre so that parents, for example, while waiting for a child receiving therapy, can be given one to one or group support that co-ordinates with the programme of the play therapist and helps reinforce a family’s healing. We will be able to cater for more clients to meet what is now exceptional demand – current referrals are running at 35% higher than ever before meaning our Client Support Team are working at full stretch! We also hope that clients will benefit from a more streamlined appointments system and new operational databases. What will it mean for our staff? Much more opportunity to develop appropriate and positive client relationships, having individual work stations with improved access to enhance their skills and having opportunities for continuing professional development, better settings for positive clinical and staff supervision, improved internal communication and IT systems, and better external communication with Trustees and other agencies. Staff will benefit from more privacy when handling client referrals. The confidentiality aspects of our service will also improve enormously, with our facility for retaining records and storage of data protected files greatly increasing. New Website Coinciding with our move has been the launch of our new website. We hope you will find the website interesting and informative as well as easy to navigate your way around. Our events calendar will be updated regularly with upcoming events, if you would like to support any of these please get in touch. |
