Extremely late review but I absolutely loved my work experience here, I met some of the most influential people who were very open and honest about their journeys which enabled me to receive a completely different hands on experience that you would not gain from working amongst a ward or hospital type setting. I was delighted with the staff and there constant positivity in the centre as well as the variety of cases they take on. Throughout the days I spent at the centre a number of activities took place and I was informed that this happened on a regular basis, and I noticed that many of which were run by attendees of the centre. The Umbrella Centre gives a real sense of community and I would highly recommend it to any of those seeking work experience particularly in the mental health department as I have learnt alot here and cannot wait to begin writing up my coursework on this unit. Thank you so much for taking me on, I must pop in at some point this holiday:)
This is a very late review. But thank you for letting me volunteer and having me in your website :) It is a warm place but good people :)
Fantastic venue staffed and managed by dedicated people. A great hub for the community that deserves more not less funding!!!!
I'd not long moved to the area when I first came here, so didn't know very many people. Straight away, I felt really welcome and it's great to have somewhere I can come any day I fancy. Tuesday is my favourite, though, due to the art

Great to see you guys at WEDG today! Hope the walks a great success! Helen
This place is so inexpensive. It's a great resource for Canterbury. It's a great place for adults with learning difficulties and disadvantaged adults to come with their carers and families. They do workshops and activities. Drop in for a coffee or cup of tea. They deserve to be supported. The premises are clean and tidy if a little basic.
Canterbury Umbrella is a brilliant hub that supports a large number of people in the wider community. It is a 'drop in' centre from which a number of services are based. A friendly restaurant run by staff and volunteers that provides great home cooking at a very good price.

I first visited the Umbrella in 2016, when I had recently moved to the area and didn't know very many people. Straight away, I was made to feel very welcome and I always am
A wonderful evening with expert games leaders and story tellers from Canterbury Dragons.
The best place I know where you can be yourself and make friends with a cuppa
An inspiring creative place
