​Thursday Day Care Drop-In Club 

This is our core services and it has supported on average forty-five people each week throughout the year. Every Thursday between 11.00 - 15.00 am we open our doors to all where lunch and refreshments are provided alongside an organised activity. ​
Our team of five AdvantAGE Support Volunteers and four Trustees provide:

  1. One to one advocacy support, providing help with form-filling, access to services, booking health appointments, resolving disputes with utility suppliers. 

  2.  Emotional support to members who have experienced bereavement or are dealing with emotional difficulties arising from isolation and loneliness.  A friendly chat, a listening ear and comforting words are something are dedicated volunteers provide sensitively.

  3. Monthly chair exercises and therapies, such as hand and shoulder massage, reflexology, etc. to relieve discomfort.
    ​
  4. At Lunch Club, a hot two-course lunch, prepared on the premises using fresh ingredients and providing a balance of vegetables, meat, and fruit is served.   Dietary requirements are catered for. 

  5. Arts, Crafts and Games, creative and life writing, bingo, quizzes and sing-a-long sessions are held each week after lunch from 1.30pm to 2.30pm, when afternoon tea is served before the session.
