The Bede Methodist Circuit is deeply saddened by the closure of the Hardman Centre. Whilst the Hardman Centre was run as an independent charity, it has been supported by the Circuit and local churches for more than 40 years. It is testament to all those involved that the charity operated for such a duration and we are proud of the heritage and the legacy which the Hardman Centre leaves behind. The Circuit offers gratitude to the charity Board and sincere thanks to all employees past and present, parents, families, volunteers and all who benefited from the service over the years.
