Community / Day Centres

Social Services is connected to a number of day centres for people with disabilities and for older people.

Day centres are available for members of the community who may find themselves less able to get out unaccompanied but still have the desire to enjoy a day out.  Day centres provide the opportunity for people to share a cooked meal and to join in with activities provided by the centre.  This affords a valuable chance for individuals to socialise with other members of the community. 

The day centres encourage and enable people to continue to lead a largely independent life marked with dignity, choice and control.  The activities provided within the day centres are designed to uphold self-fulfilment within the members. 

These services are commonly available following an Assessment of Need.  This is a discussion with you to find out how best to support you with the problems you are having. We will look at your needs and decide whether you are eligible for services including attending one of our day centres.

If you would like more information and to find out whether you would be eligible for the service and the charges that may apply, please contact the Access Team or the Community Team for People with Learning Disabilities.
