MAYSI is a service provided by Mayfair Community Centre. As the name suggests, it exists to help people to remain independent. It does this by providing relevant information and support. This could be information on how to access benefits, advice on equipment or care, or suggestions of social opportunities to aid health and wellbeing.
Although based in Mayfair in Church Stretton, MAYSI also covers the areas around Craven Arms and Dorrington. If you live in these areas and are finding it hard to cope with everyday tasks, feel lonely, need company, are just out of hospital, caring for a friend or relative, not able to get out and do the things you want or having difficulty applying for benefits for which you’re eligible, then give us a call.
We will listen to you, help to identify your needs, offer choices and put you in touch with relevant services and support. We can offer practical help with filling in forms, with applying for Attendance Allowance and the Blue Badge scheme. Your confidentiality will be respected at all times.
Janet Williams and Shaz Malins are co-ordinators of the service.
They can be contacted on 01694 722077 or at [email protected]
MAYSI also provides the GP Care and Community Coordinator role for Church Stretton Medical Practice. As such, the Practice may put you in touch with us for support, or you can contact us direct.
MAYSI is part of the countywide Wellbeing and Independence Partnership.
