02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Our Day Centre provides a warm and friendly meeting place for over 60’s, we help reduce social isolation and loneliness by making new friends and renewing old friendships. We have our own minibus, depending on where someone lives, we can offer transport, we travel to outlying villages on different days of the week. On arrival there is an option to have breakfast or you could have a freshly baked scone. Tea and coffee are served throughout the day, a hot nutritious meal is served at lunchtime and most dietary requirements can be catered for. A range of activities are on offer each day to meet the needs of the people attending. Guest speakers attend the Centre giving advice, information and support. A foot care specialist attends every 8 weeks and a Hairdresser attends every week
