Our Day Centres
The charity runs two day care centres across Glasgow, both of which focus on reducing loneliness and social isolation in older adults. Staff across the centres are experienced which helps to create a caring environment. Each centre has its own programme of activities including:
- art classes
- armchair exercises
- bingo
- carpet bowls
- gardening
- music therapy
- reminiscence activities
- and much more!
Each centre also has regular planned days out during the summer, Christmas shopping trips and themed party days for events like Burns Day, Valentines Day and more.
Minibuses collect service users to take them to centres from door to door. On arrival centre users enjoy a light breakfast followed by an activity then a 3 course meal together. In the afternoon another activity is followed by tea and coffee before everyone is dropped off home.
It costs £15 to attend per person per day and depending on availability it is possible to attend for multiple days each week.

Our volunteer-led clubs help alleviate social isolation and loneliness. They give older people opportunities to improve their quality of life, meet up with old friends and make new ones while sharing interests and acquiring new skills.
