Carers’ respite service
We provide activities for older people, people with support needs, and those living with dementia. The support we provide allows carers some time and space for themselves.
Our service provides an enjoyable, safe, and welcoming day out for older people, people with support needs, those who are socially isolated, and people living with dementia. We help carers take regular breaks so they can relax and recharge. From time to time, there are also opportunities for carers to join in the fun!
Outings
Date: Mondays and Tuesdays
We head out into the area in our accessible minibus and take a trip to various venues for refreshments. We love to sit by the river eating ice-cream or wrapped up warm drinking hot chocolate. We then go on to a welcoming and accessible venue for lunch.
Sompting hub
Date: Fridays
Our hub is a dedicated, safe, and caring space designed to support wellbeing, social connection, and meaningful activities. We celebrate all manner of festivities and book a range of entertainers. We also try our hand at growing some fruit and vegetables with varying success!
Transport is available, and all refreshments and lunches are provided within the modest charge.
The first session is free for new bookings - so loved ones and their carers can make sure they've made the right choice.
"Your service is an absolute lifeline for me. I don't have to worry about mum and know she is having the best time with you all."
