A day centre for adults with a learning disability and challenging behaviour, situated in Oak Road. It is operated by Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. It is named after Ellen Terry, the actress who became almost blind in 1915 and who was president of the Blind League. The League had a home for blind mentally handicapped children nearby in Wray Park Road, named Sandfield House and founded in 1925. Following absorption in the NHS in 1948, it underwent a number of changes of roles over the years, before closing in 1986. The present day unit was built to the south of the original site.
