WHAT WE DO
The Centre is open on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with a start time of 10am. Our clients come from Bedford and surrounding villages. The day starts off with tea, coffee and toast which gives everyone a chance to catch up with their friends about their previous week.
We offer a wide variety of mentally and physically stimulating activities, including various craft activities, quizzes, puzzles and games. Alternatively clients can choose to chat or read - it’s their day!
We also hold exercise classes on Wednesday morning provided by a qualified trainer. The exercises are chair based and again clients can choose whether to take part. Weather permitting we can go for short walks in the village or just sit in the beautiful peaceful garden which surrounds the old school.
Angela our cook prepares a delicious two course freshly cooked lunch with seasonable vegetables and locally sourced meat. A traditional roast lunch and apple crumble is always a favourite. Sometimes our clients help to make cakes etc for our Autumn Fair and other events. We hold an environment health hygiene food rating of 5 and cater for various dietary needs.
The Centre relies on grants and donations and the good will of our band of volunteers. The cost of the sessions to individuals compares well with other service providers in the Borough. The differential between the cost to the client and to the Charity in providing the service is met through fundraising.
We have places available for our elderly clients on all three days, so if anyone is interested to come and have a fun packed enjoyable day with good company please call the number below. We can also give advice on possible transport options. The Centre is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. For more information contact Lynne on 01234 824935 or 07733 227374
