Opening hours

9am-4.30pm weekdays.

Food and drink

We provide freshly cooked meals each day and we can cater for different dietary needs.

Partner organisations

We have been able to host these new services through close co-operation with a range of partner organisations, such as the Primary Care Trust, the Mental Health Trust, the local carers’ group and the council’s own Adult Learning Service.

What we do

We serve regular members as well as others who have specific needs. In our range of 20 different services, we still offer our core, traditional day-centre services, such as entertainment, arts and crafts and a hot lunch.Our other services range from intermediate care to the small but life-enhancing ones such as well-being courses run by the council’s Adult Learning Service to support people with mild mental health needs.

We also provide falls prevention, carers support, short- term help for people who are experiencing a crisis in their lives, health promotion and social inclusion work with ethnic minorities.
