For the past 10 years, the Kyrebrook Day Centre has been tackling loneliness and isolation amongst the elderly population of Tenbury Wells and the surrounding area. The centre offers a safe and caring environment where everyone can relax, socialise and have fun. In the last ten years, it has helped over 150 people to remain active members of their community, build friendships and confidence, and keep mentally and physically strong. This in turn enables people to remain independent in their own home for as long as possible, as well as providing much-needed respite for families and carers.
From crafts to quizzes, board games to bingo, music and movement, the centre offers a large selection of activities and entertainment; tailored to meet the needs of those they care for, these are designed to improve well-being, combat isolation and bring laughter and joy. There is also a delicious two course lunch.
The centre is currently open 3 full days per week offering full support and care to people living with life limiting conditions and loneliness.
The new friendship and lunch club would run twice a week, bringing the Kyrebrook caring experience to a new and wider audience who have fewer physical care needs, but are just as in need of fun and friendship.
