IT was my great pleasure to attend the recent coffee morning at Mill House, off Walmersley Old Road, to meet the residents, staff and professionals.

The charity Making Space opened Mill House earlier this year. It provides permanent furnished accommodation for 11 tenants in self-contained flats.

The charity's aim is to make a difference by improving the quality of life, not just for those with mental health problems, but for those who care for them too.

I am sure that I speak for everyone present by congratulating all involved with the scheme, especially Anne and Rachel. I am confident that Mill House will prove to be an environment that will indeed have a positive effect on the lives of the residents.
