The 59 Centre provides social and leisure activities and educational opportunities for over 60 older people each week. The Centre Project Worker is assisted by a team of hardworking volunteers, who, as well as working with regular groups, offer their support on Centre day trips as wheelchair escorts.
We have a wheelchair accessible minibus, which is available to carry people who find it difficult to use public transport to and from the Centre and on the trips out.
Regular groups include a Gentle Exercise Group, a Men's Group, an Arts & Crafts Group, Afternoon Social Activity Groups as well as Computer Classes run at the Centre. There is an extremely successful Luncheon Club that meets weekly to provide members with a hot meal and the opportunity to socialise and take part in activities. Club 7 meets monthly and is for people who have had a stroke. Carers are welcome to attend also. Carers may wish to have time on their own to do some shopping etc. The Club aims to enable members to access the same facilities and leisure opportunities as other older people, including shopping, meals out and visits to places of interest.
We are continually developing the wide variety of activities we offer to all groups at the Centre and have developed an exciting programme of activities which includes games, quizzes, and themed events. Winners of activities such as Musical Bingo or Play Your Cards Right are given prize in ‘59 Centre Tokens’ which they can collect until they have enough tokens to be exchanged for the prize of their choice which may be Morrison’s vouchers or money-off the day trips.
