Douglas Drive Senior Citizens Centre

Activities

Our aim is to enrich the social lives of Senior Citizens and help to prevent isolation by meeting in groups of like-minded people.

At present we provide two general day care groups which are held on Mondays and Wednesdays and a third group on Tuesdays, is a mixed group including general day care and Stroke Survivors.

Douglas Drive are a Dementia friendly organisation and therefore will also welcome clients with early to moderate stage of Dementia

Activities suitable for each group are organised and delivered by our activities co-ordinator assisted by our volunteers.

A two-course meal cooked at the centre is provided daily for a nominal charge as part of the Day Care session.

The centre is run by a voluntary management committee and 5 part-time paid staff.

We also have many regular volunteers who generously give their time to help us provide the service we are proud of.

Douglas Drive SCA is a non-profit making registered charity who operate from a building owned by Stevenage Borough Council.

In addition to funding from the Community Wellbeing Team we also raise money from grants applications and donations, all of which helps towards paying the running costs of the centre.
