We know from research and experience, that social interaction is extremely important in helping to combat feelings of loneliness, depression, anxiety and social isolation in older people.
We offer a twice weekly Drop-in Coffee Morning on Tuesdays and Fridays between 10.00am – 11.45am which offer refreshments, companionship in a friendly, warm and safe environment and support from staff and volunteers who are only too willing to offer information and advice on any issues or concerns you may have.
