Services
The Drop in
The Drop in is a warm, friendly and welcoming place. Anyone who feels the need for friendship and companionship can come and socialize with other like minded people. The project allows users/customers to share life experiences, encourage each other and build lasting relationships.
The aims are:
- To see an improvement in the health and quality of life
- To enable empowerment through direct involvement in Centre's activities
- To give service users a purpose and sense of self-worth
Prayer fellowship
People experiencing loss, stress, or pain often feel the need for guidance and prayer. People needing this service can drop- in at any time and find support on a one to one basis.
Fellowship meetings however are held regularly on Thursday's: 12.30pm - 1.30PM.
This event attracts people who are unable to attend their regular church on a Sunday, and those without a church base. If you fit into one or more of these categories why not come along and take part in a time of fellowship.
Advocacy

Our Objectives, agreed with our funders and in accordance with the principles laid out in the Advocacy Charter, are to:
- Empower vulnerable older people to secure their rights and access the services they need
