The Friendship Centre

Our long established day centre runs 48 weeks a year. The centre provides for older people in the Otley Road and Undercliffe area. We are constantly striving to offer a mix of regular activities, such as a hot meals, transport, knitting and snacks, along with an imaginative programme which stimulates, challenges, informs, and introduces new experiences. The attendees have identified needs that we aim to meet, such as intergenerational projects with our in-house nursery and holiday playschemes, curling, exercise, and talks from various local services. The older people who attend value the social interaction which contributes to the support some need in order to continue living independently.
