Help Name Our New Dementia Service Club
We plan to set up a new Dementia service later this year to meet growing demand and we would like your help to name our new Club. This will provide outstanding day care for those living with early to moderate stages of dementia as well as providing very important respite for carers
Building Improvements Start
We have started work to provide much needed office accommodation, a separate entrance and secure, enclosed patio at the rear of Fair Close. We also plan to renovate the lounge to create a more functional, versatile and uplifting modern space.
Ruth’s Challenge & Memorial
Ruth’s Challenge is a motivational project created working together with the inspirational Ruth Saunders MBE. Ruth sadly passed away during February age 107 but the challenge continues. Anyone over 65 can set a personal goal to achieve something during 2024. All you need to do is register your challenge with us and we will support you in achieving your goal.
