The manager writes….with Linda Abbott

I would like to introduce myself, my name is Linda Abbott & I am the manager of Mary’s Place.  My job is organising the room bookings & overseeing the day-to-day running of the Centre.

I have lived in Melton all my life with my family so am familiar with the Mary’s Place & St Mary’s Church & feel very privileged to be working here.

I really enjoy working with the volunteers here in the Centre & really appreciate this dedicated team that come in week in week out whatever the weather!  If you have a few spare hours a week & would be willing to volunteer in the café or kitchen we would love to hear from you, just give us a call or pop in.

Our Café has an extensive menu of snacks, hot & cold food & drinks do pop in & try us.

We have groups, organisations, counsellors, charities, health support, businesses and local authorities that use our rooms on a daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly or one off basis.

We are situated in the town centre & have a fantastic building which is to open to everyone.  We have various rooms available to book, which can be used for meetings, receptions and parties etc.  In addition, Carol, our Café Manager and her team, produce super mouth-watering food.

If you need a space I would be more than happy to show you around our facilities, and discuss your requirements.  I am usually in the office Monday – Thursday between 9 am – 12 noon or you can phone me on 01664 503521 or email manager@marysplace.org.uk.

Thanks to everyone for the very warm welcome I have received since I started work here and I look forward to working together with our team of staff, volunteers & management committee for many years to come.
