Our Staff

We have a dedicated team of staff and volunteers who care for the needs of all our service users. All staff attend ongoing professional development training.

We aim to offer all our members a warm welcome each day, giving support and help, both on a one-to-one basis and as a group by:

  • Providing a safe environment linked closely with and audited by Social Services
  • Organising plenty of stimulating and interesting activities linked to current events
  • Having adequate levels of trained staff in attendance at all times
  • Adoption of person centered approach
  • To enhance quality of life, ensuring the individual needs of members are met where possible to support well being, self esteem, and independence

Testimonials

It has given my Mother something to look forward to each day she goes, and without fail, says what a fantastic day she had, and how nice everyone is. I know the care she receives there is excellent, and I now don't need to worry about her when she is there. I feel the staff all go above and beyond their roles to help make this a wonderful place - thankyou to everyone there, it is very much appreciated.

The centre is fantastic and that includes all the staff. They work tirelessly with the resources at their disposal. You can see how good they are by the smiling face of the "customers" as they leave after each session.
