Objectives

We rent accommodation in our house for older folk to live independently (with support) within a caring community to combat loneliness and live well to the end of their lives. 

Activities

Each resident rents an en-suite studio flat which has a shared dining room and lounge

A cooked lunch and evening meal is provided by our staff , while residents can get up when they want and are free to make their own breakfasts in their own time. Residents help choose our menus which are changed regularly as they would in their own homes. 

Residents are encouraged to engage in the local community activities and we provide periodic trips to the local theatre (that often streams live performances from different UK theatres and arts performances e.g. ballet).  

A few other local organisations e.g. U3A , Save the Children etc use the Lounge or Dining room as a venue to meet or to raise funds.
