Sanderson Arcade Development Welcomes Charity Team To New Premises!

26 February 2009

A Morpeth charity which has been helping disabled people in the region for the last 20 years has moved to new headquarters in the prestigious Sanderson Arcade development

The Castle Morpeth Disability Association is the first organisation to move to the brand new purpose built offices at Sanderson Arcade based at the new bus station which has also just opened.

 The charity was started 20 years ago by a dedicated team of volunteers and now has eight members of staff offering a range of services as well as supporting community initiatives.

 Covering an area across mid and North Northumberland the team at CMDA are hoping the new move will see the charity raise its profile and go from strength to strength.

 CMDA’s new premises are larger with better facilities covering 1,820 sq ft on the ground floor with good access.  

 Previously based in the old bus station the charity has now moved to the new Morpeth bus station which has been built as part of the £32 million development currently under construction.

 This first phase of the development includes the new bus station as well as public toilets and a Martins Newsagents.

 This phase of the town centre development has been completed on schedule and will be officially opened in a special ceremony being held on March 5^th.

 Director of Castle Morpeth Disability Association, David Weatherhead, said: “The move has gone really well, we are hoping we will have a much higher profile in our new premises. It puts us in a better position to do more training and support other groups in the area.

 “It is great to have new premises with better facilities which will help us to move the charity on to the next level. We are in a great location in the town and easily accessible by car and bus.”

 Director of Morpeth II, the developers of Sanderson Arcade, Mark Dransfield said: “We hope the new headquarters will help the charity expand and develop and build on the great work they do in Morpeth.

 “It’s exciting for everyone involved in the project to start seeing people moving in to this first phase of the development.”
