A community interest company based in Woodside has spent the last ten years helping people with addiction, mental health issues and homelessness build a bridge to a better future. 

A Better Tomorrow has provided accommodation and services to support over 700 clients since it was set up in 2014. It prides itself on being a grassroots organisation led by individuals with personal experience of the areas it supports. 

Chief operating officer Martin Cantrill said the organisation’s goal was to help its clients build a bridge to normal living. 

“We want to support them to make a sustainable change to their lives by building the confidence they need to live independently,” he said. 

The organisation was set up in 2014 with just one house giving support to people with addiction and substance misuse. Its abstinence based, residential approach led to a strong working partnership with Telford & Wrekin Council. 

It expanded in 2017 to support people with mental health needs through its Wellbeing Houses. In 2021 the CIC went on to set up an early intervention project to help people who had become homeless.

The CIC now has places for almost 100 clients within its abstinence, wellbeing and early intervention programmes. It also provides outreach support working in partnership to run a ‘calm café’, detox service and wraparound care.
