Activities
Creative Tuesdays
These sessions are packed with fun activities like crafts, bingo, karaoke, seasonal parties, and trips. It’s a great way to learn new skills, explore your creative side, and enjoy spending time with friends over a cuppa.
Disco Thursdays
Join us for our inclusive disco! With sensory lights, instruments, and a mix of the latest tunes and old-time favourites, there’s something for everyone.
Got a song you love? Let the DJ know, and they’ll play it for you!
After the disco, spend time with friends in our café and enjoy some refreshments.
Some of our group members attend sessions on their own, depending on the support they need. We look at each person’s needs individually. Our staff are here to run the sessions, but they don’t provide personal care.
Filling out our quick and easy application form takes just a few minutes and helps us get the info we need to support you better while you’re with us! A paper copy is also available.
Giving back to the community
We’re all about creating regular social opportunities for people who might feel lonely, helping boost their happiness and wellbeing. We believe staying connected supports good mental health!
Towards the end of each session, Caregivers have the opportunity to purchase food at subsidised prices via our partnership with FareShare. The selection of both frozen and ambient food can be bought using cash or card. Don’t forget to bring a shopping bag!
