“I come to the day centre twice a week which gives my husband the opportunity to do something that he is interested in without having to worry about me. I’ve always been a creative person and enjoy knitting and sewing, so the arts and crafts sessions are perfect for me. I enjoy the company and the staff are very friendly and helpful.” | |
“The thing I like most is the company. If I didn’t come here, I would be on my own. I like to meet people and enjoy the activities on offer, particularly the quizzes as they keep my brain going. The staff are very good to me and if I could, I would come here all the time.” | |
“I have been coming twice a week since lockdown. I live on my own, so the day centre gives me the company I need. I tend to fall and wouldn’t be able to leave the house if it wasn’t for the minibus coming to pick me up. Whatever the day brings, I am happy to do. The staff are very nice and I enjoy the food.” | |
“I live in Lakenheath and my wife brings me twice a week. It provides a break for both of us and if I didn’t come here, I would just be sitting at home. The staff look after me and it’s nice to see different people and join in the activities. The food is very nice too.” | |
“It’s really nice to get out and see people as I live on my own. I started coming to Brandon Day Centre twice a week when my husband passed away. The staff are all very good. They are here when I need support and I like that. When I’m here, I enjoy doing crafts and quizzes and a very nice lunch. It’s great to have a choice.” | |
“I’ve been coming to the centre for quite a few years now. live at home with my husband and son but enjoy getting out to see different people. I love coming here and particularly enjoy the lovely food and playing bingo. The staff are really friendly. We have a good rapport and have a laugh together.” |
