A NATURAL health centre which is a registered charity has received a grant of £900 to help less well-off people get treatment.
The fund will enable the centre in Malvern to offer heavily discounted treatments to members of the public who are in receipt of certain means-tested benefits.
To be eligible for the discounted treatments, potential clients would need to be in receipt of such benefits as income support, incapacity benefits, pension credit and carers allowance.
The Grassroots Grant Fund of £900 was through Community First in Herefordshire and Worcestershire.
The Malvern Natural Health Centre at 15 Abbey Road in Malvern is the longest established natural therapy centre in Malvern, having been based in the town for 22 years.
Twelve experienced therapists offer massage, aromatherapy, acupuncture, bowen, reflexology, reiki and homeopathy.
If you would like further information about the treatments or the charity, contact the health centre on 01684 893238.
