Families of young people with additional needs welcome new building as car service expands in Ashington

A much-loved care service in Northumberland with a "great track record" working with young adults with additional needs has expanded with a brand new building in the heart of Ashington.

Brightside Adult Services is a "one-of-a-kind" day service focussed on offering support, teaching and care to young adults with additional needs. It also offers respite care and support living services to take the strain off families.

The new building in the Northumberland town will allow it to expand capacity and take more young people - with demand across the county for such provision growing fast. At an open event celebrating the new building, Wansbeck MP Ian Lavery was among those celebrating how a "remarkable" service has grown in less than a decade.
