The Friends Centre plays an important role within the community as it provides a variety of services. Our aim at The Friends Centre is to provide Day Care services with support, to encourage wellbeing and promote understanding. We aim to help individuals to overcome challenges and to provide befriending and support. We provide access to a variety of health and care services, and enabling people to stay in their own home within their community along with providing signposting and enabling social interaction.

At The Friends Centre we provide a healthy two course cooked meal and twice a week we have Fish & Chips from David’s Fish & Chip Shop. We provide transportation to those living in the TQ5 area. The Friends Centre enables choice when making decisions in their care and activities whilst attending. This provides caregivers a much needed break in which to attend personal needs, or simply rest and relax, and to offer support and advice from a Carers Support Worker.
