Hilperton Day Centre receives funding.
The Giffords weekly meeting is set to continue.
The day centres will be held at two of the Society's sheltered housing schemes, The Giffords in Hilperton and Aldhelm Court in Bradford on Avon. Transport from Trowbridge will be provided to assist people in getting to the Hilperton centre.
The Giffords Day Centre is held every Tuesday between 10.30 and 3.30. It provides morning coffee, a hot midday meal and afternoon tea. The new Day Centre at The Giffords opened on Tuesday 5th February, and I was honoured to be invited along as Chairman of Hilperton Parish Council. There are many benefits to joining a day centre including combating loneliness and isolation, opportunities to meet new people and getting involved in new activities in a friendly and safe environment.
West Wiltshire Housing Society will be employing an organiser to arrange activities and is also looking for volunteers to help. For further information about either attending the day centre or becoming a volunteer please contact The Giffords on 01225 753288.
