Leigh

Compassion in Action’s Community Village of Inclusion is centred around the charity’s Patrick House headquarters in Leigh. Developed to meet the needs of the community and with the generous support of our valued partners, the site includes Duva Mews – apartments for people with learning difficulties or disabilities; Haven House – a recovery-focused wellbeing centre for adults who are living with depression, anxiety, emotional distress and isolation; and Oasis House 1 & 2, a commissioned service which offers therapeutic non-clinical short-term residential interventions.

Patrick House

Located just outside Leigh town centre, Patrick House is a place of hope for people to socialise and find friendship; to forge community bonds through volunteering; and to access support through our partner agencies – including Beacon Trust Counselling Service.

Our headquarters are home to a purpose-built community café, office suite, board room and function room, which are available to hire for events, meetings and training. Regular visitors to Patrick House include our valued ex-armed forces and Royal British Legion members, who attend a weekly veterans’ brunch, as well as many other local groups and organisations.

More recently, we have adapted our premises to create a ‘Heat Retreat’ where adults of all ages can keep warm, enjoy a free snack and seek cost of living support.

Duva Mews

Comprising 11 modern apartments, Duva Mews are situated at the rear of Patrick House, close to local shops and amenities. Key features include a specially adapted modern fitted kitchen, induction hob, wet room and a paved area outside.

An additional eight modern apartments are situated on the first floor of Patrick House, which benefit from access to a communal laundrette and gym facilities.

The care provision on site is provided by our partners Cherish UK and with support from Wigan Council Adult Social Care.

Oasis House & Haven House

Compassion in Action’s therapeutic wellbeing centres, Oasis House and Haven House, are here for people who need to take a step away when they feel overwhelmed by the stresses, strains and difficulties of their everyday life. Here, they take a breath, feel safe and secure, and are then ready for our support to move towards a more positive future.

Our therapeutic wellbeing centres are a commissioned service providing a new and unique, non-clinical model of rehabilitation. In addition to offering day-to-day counselling services, we have seven bedrooms centred around shared communal space, where people can stay for five nights/six days. With 24-hour support, we provide short-term therapeutic interventions in this safe and secure residential setting.
