We provide a full day of support and interaction for individuals with a wide variety of needs including dementia, physical disabilities and social isolation.
All our lovely team members have many years of experience supporting elderly and vulnerable people. They have received extensive training and all hold a valid enhanced DBS. We have designed our building to be homely, light, dementia friendly, safe and secure. If you are unsure why not try our £10 Taster Day?
We charge an all-inclusive price including transport, food and activities. We would be pleased to come out to meet you or come along and take a look.
Many health professionals signpost people to our service and some individuals are eligible for support with funding. We provide transport to and from Wood Street with a mixture of mobility minibuses and cars. Our minibuses have a lift for anyone in a wheelchair or who needs easy access.
