Day Opportunities
Our Day Opportunities Service focuses on enhancing and developing relationships and building self-confidence to enable clients to better manage their health, wellbeing and self-care while combating loneliness.
Whether you are looking for a social hub to make new friends or looking for some structure and assistance during the day, our Day Opportunities service can help provide meaningful social contact in a safe and secure environment.
Group activities and shared interest groups are most likely to meet older people’s needs for promoting health and wellbeing and providing meaningful social contact. We offer access to new opportunities, learning, health promotion and support our clients and their carers through difficult times. Our groups and social environment effectively tackle loneliness, improve resilience, and enable meaningful connections to be made.
