Abbeyview Day Centre

Abbeyview Day Centre is a Charity that provides much needed care for members over 65+. We have a number of services that we provide for members who the majority have a form of Dementia. We offer Day Care, this service provides transport to and from the Day Centre, socialisation, interaction with peers, 3 course lunch, Physical and Mental activities to help promote independence. We also run a Dementia Café twice a week, this is for members and carer, where a light lunch and support is provided along with speakers, group led activities and a lot more. We also have a K.I.T Club (Keep in Touch) this is a social group that aims to combat social isolation and loneliness.  This service is group led and various activities are on offer and where members can enjoy a cuppa and a chat.

Abbeyview Day Centre   have been providing a much-needed services since 1989 serving the local area and the wider community.

We are fundraising for a new mini bus; our current mini bus is almost 10 years old and showing its age. The mini bus we have is now costing more and more money as repairs are more frequent due to age and wear and tear. We rely heavily on the mini bus to transport members to and from the Day Centre. A new mini bus is a major expense for a Charity. For Abbeyview Day Centre if we didn’t have the bus 90% of our members would be permanently house bound with no social interaction. Due to the large cost of a new mini bus, we need a substantial amount of money to buy a new one and adapted it to have a tail lift fitted sliding door with steps at the side to make it easy for our members to enter and exit the bus safely and independently.
