Paul’s Place (South West) is a charity that enhances life for physically disabled adults. They do this by providing social activities that connect people, reducing isolation and giving people the opportunity to develop new skills, enjoy new experiences and live life to the full.
Established in 1995, Paul’s Place has worked with and supported hundreds of physically disabled adults and those with cognitive and sensory impairment.
In 2023, they unveiled plans for a move to ‘The Shire Way Centre’ in what is a “really transformative and exciting time” for the Charity and the local community.
