2016: The Mill mental health daycentre

This is The Mill mental health daycentre run by Oxfordshire Mind, dating from the advent of 'care in the community' and the mental health recovery movement.

It operates as a members club for people with severe and enduring mental health problems. Facilities include space to socialise, record music, make art and cook shared meals. The shopfront is used as a public exhibition space. In December 2016 it displayed the Gaugin-inspired paintings by one of the centre's volunteers.
