The Pottle Centre is a social and recreational centre for adults living with of Mental Health issues, illnesses and addictions . We are a drug and alcohol free, safe facility. Our members are generally supported by other services such as case manager, nurse, Psychiatrist. Social Worker or a Psychologist and we become additional support to meet people where they are in their recovery.

The Pottle Centre began in 1980 and have incurred a few changes of our more than 40 year history. We have had several locations beginning with Church Hill to where we are now, 805 Water Street. We began as a pilot project and were named the Canadian Mental Health Association Social Centre and once funding changed hands, the name changed briefly to the UPP Centre (Understanding People's Problems) then to The Pottle Centre to honour one of the founders of the centre, Dr Clarence Pottle.

The Pottle Centre employs two staff and is governed by a Board of Directors who volunteer their time because they have a passion for Mental Health.

The Pottle Centre receives less than 100,000 from Government funding yet that is our main source of funding. Every donation made to us means a great deal to us. Thanks in advance if you have selected us as a recipient of your kindness.
