The Centre provides a lunch club and many activities for retired people and the local community in Selsdon.

Most importantly, we help them to remain independent and in their own homes for as long as possible. Positive mental health and wellbeing for clients is at the heart of all our services and we arrange projects such as singing group and horticultural therapy for clients to benefit from which we apply for funding to support.
