Day Centre

Our lunch club for elderly and disabled people runs over three days a week. We collect members from their homes in one of our two fully accessible minibuses, and arrive at the centre for around 10.30am. The day starts with a cup of tea and a biscuit, followed by a three course lunch at 12.15pm. In the afternoon we have a varied activities program, a cup of tea or coffee and a piece of cake, and leave on the minibuses from 3pm.

Opening Hours

Tuesday: 10.30am - 3.30pm

Wednesday: 10.30a, - 3.00pm

Thursday: 10.30am - 3.30pm

Each session costs £7.50, which includes morning and afternoon tea, a three course lunch, afternoon entertainments and transport if necessary.

Members can visit our tuck shop, which stocks a variety of chocolates and sweets, including some diabetic-friendly options, or visit our charity shop, where quality second-hand goods may be purchased.
An optional Tuesday Holy Communion service is offered, and a listening ear is always readily available.

Catering

Our food is cooked fresh by our chef, and we aim for it to be nutritionally balanced and healthy, providing at least 2 of the reccomended 5 portions of fruit and veg each day through the fresh vegetables and home made soups that we serve. Our food generally reflects British classics and favourites, and we have a roast once a week on alternating days.

We cater to all dietary requirements, including diabetics and allergies.
