Day Services

Day Services

Day Services offer a variety of activities to people including opportunities to:

Which Needs the Centres Meet

Each centre has its own programme of daily activities tailored to suit the needs of the client group attending.

Main Focus

The focus is on working positively with the people who attend in order to build and maintain their skills and confidence.

The Centres

Opening Times

All centres are open Monday-Friday, although their actual hours vary. Generally speaking they are open from around 9.00am to 3.30pm.

Some choices for days may depend on the availability of places and transport requirements.

Meals Provided at the Centres

Each centre will offer a choice of meals (including vegetarian options) and hot or cold drinks for a nominal cost. A light breakfast and afternoon tea are available on request.

Transport to Centres

You will be provided with transport if you are unable to get to the centres independently. Transport will start from 8.00am and we ask you to be ready for that time. Transport may incur a small cost.

Cost of Day Services

You may be required to make a contribution to the cost of your day services following a financial assessment.

What Else You Should Know

You will be allocated a member of staff to be a keyworker for you. Their role is to be your point of contact in the centre and provide support.
