Day Services

A good day out ...

We want to give you an enjoyable day.  Our day centres offer good company and a nourishing meal.  A range of activities helps to make each day stimulating and fun:
  • arts and crafts
  • quizzes and word games
  • gentle exercise
  • topical discussions
  • reminiscences
  • entertainment
  • information sessions
If none of these appeals, you are welcome to bring in one of your own favourite activities.  Or you may prefer to read the newspapers, or simply chat to other members.   Our staff and volunteers are always on hand to chat and provide any help you might need, and transport is provided.

Most people are referred to the centres through social services, but there are also a number of private places available.  We can provide details of the cost of these.

St Michael's Centre is at the Church Hall in School Road, Bishops Cleeve and meets every Monday.

Our Herrington Rooms Centre meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays at St Paul's Church in Cheltenham.

For more information or to make a referral contact us on 01452 422660 or email enquiries@ageconcernglos.org.uk

Food and Friendship ...

If good food and good company are an ideal combination for you, then our drop-in centre could be just what you're looking for.

Hot meals and light snacks are on the menu at the Contact Centre, our drop-in at the Neighbourhood Resource Centre, Lower High Street, Cheltenham (01242 230886).  Apart from good food, visitors can enjoy yoga, board games, quizzes and arts and crafts.   The Centre co-ordinator also arranges a programme of day trips.

So whether you are an older person living in Cheltenham or you're just visiting the area you will be given a warm welcome.

"I was lonely and considering going into a care home.  So I contacted Age Concern for advice and they invited me to join one of their day centres.  Now I'm no longer isolated, I have lots of friends and have decided to stay in my own home."

We have around 30 sets of plain white plates (large and small) and dessert bowls surplus to requirements.  Robust and dishwasher-proof they are ideal for a community hall or cafe.
