- People love the healthy and affordable lunches we provide five days a week.
- Surprisingly well equipped, this vital community resource has exceptional facilities including a well-equipped physio and exercise room, an IT room and a highly popular sensory room

Group Activities
- Changing four times a year, our rich programme of activities is varied and comprehensive, offering great choices for everyone.
- Our focus is on helping service users to develop self-esteem and confidence, as well as vital social and life skills – often through activities that have a strong educational value.
- These activities include: art & crafts * baking & cooking * building independence * exercise & sport * IT * music & games * gardening * hobbies & interests * life skills * sensory stimulation
- Our groups are informed by you. We arrange tutors and facilitators for the activities people want.
DAY TRIPS & DISCOS
- Trips to local attractions like Richmond Park and Hampton Court and the seaside often prove very popular.
- Other favourites include bowling trips, visits to the local gym and our monthly discos.
WELLBEING & THERAPIES
- Through visiting and in-house therapists, we offer massage, physiotherapy, relaxation and many other therapies.
- To offer such a wide mix of therapies in an accessible environment, and with the right support, is a relatively rare thing – certainly locally.
ON-SITE PERSONAL SUPPORT
Well trained, well supported and experienced, our dedicated on-site team is fully committed to the needs of each client… and to making sure they get exactly what they want out of their placement at the centre.
- We can support adults with physical disabilities, learning disabilities, acquired brain injury and/or sensory disabilities.
- Specifically, all staff are trained to use Makaton, and are qualified to undertakecomplex moving and handling. (NB: We don’t use agency staff.)
- On hand to support service users with any problems, faced either with us or at home, our staff also help them to achieve new independence and to access new opportunities.
GIVING CLIENTS THEIR SAY
We‘re committed to giving our clients regular input into how we do things – listening closely to what they want and need, and evolving our services accordingly.
That’s why we:
- Constantly invite service users to share their thoughts and views
- Directly involve them in the choice of activities in our programme
- Hold a Service User Conference once a year
