Attendance Centres have been in existence since 1949. Currently there are 84 Junior Centres and 28 Senior Centres in operation across England and Wales. Three of the Senior Centres are based in Cumbria at sites in Carlisle, Workington and Barrow.

Annette Hennessy, Chief Executive of Cumbria Probation Trust and Michael Page, Regional Manager of Attendance Centres both agreed that in the current economic climate it is a fantastic achievement to have three Senior Attendance Centres up and running in Cumbria. These provide the courts with an alternative sentencing option to punish offenders.
