Bank House has offered a support service in Swadlincote since 1995. We have recently lost long established funding from Derbyshire County Council and the NHS. While this has been a devastating blow it has also freed us from the constraints of a statutory contract, giving us an ideal opportunity to continue and extend our project to reach more people and solve more problems.

Bank House provides numerous services for adults with a wide range of issues (including, but not limited to, mental health issues, isolation, physical health needs, sensory impairment, learning difficulties, confidence and self esteem issues, substance misuse, bereavement, homelessness, welfare needs ) in a safe, supportive, friendly, non-judgmental manner, in a fabulous purpose designed building.

We will continue to provide:-
An accessible open access drop-in service for any adult with any issues.
A friendly face and a warm welcome.
Friendly support and advice.
No waiting lists.
A wide range of interest based group activities.
