Tea Dances Free to over 55’s
If you are over 55 and enjoy dancing, or wish to try, then
our tea dances may be just for you. Mainly sequence dancing we do however throw
in a little line dancing too. Dances are held in the Main Hall.
Chair Based Exercise Tuesday 1pm –2pm
Over 55’s chair based exercise with a qualified
instructor.
Along side regular weekly activities of the Centre
there are 'one off' or annual activities
Each year we provide a ‘Family Christmas’ for those within
our community who might otherwise spend Christmas alone. This is provided
purely by donations and the commitment of our volunteers and is a much valued
and appreciated service. The Centre makes and delivers Christmas Hampers
to Families in need who are referred to us by various agencies. With the generous
donations of toys and food generated from local Churches and individuals and the
assistance of volunteers to sort, pack and deliver, we aim to provide a little
extra, for those families who are vulnerable.
