Our objective has been the maintenance and improvement of the quality of life for older people who live independently in and around Cockenzie/Port Seton and Longniddry. The Day Centre is the hub of the elderly community - it gives people a place to make new friends and keep in touch with old ones. Our activities help people learn new skills and hobbies, rediscover old ones, build confidence and have fun. We also provide a little bit of help and support and ensure that each service user has a nutritious meal. The Day Centre is a very comfortable and fully refurbished environment and is enjoyed by all who attend.
Our key stakeholder, Health and Social Care Partnership – East Lothian, are seeking to expand the range of services provided by each of its Charitable Day Centres within East Lothian.
Community support, through the medium of Outreach, is being encouraged, with Day Centres being available to explore support to the Elderly in their own home or in other suitable locations. There are many people who do not wish to attend a Day Centre but would welcome a different type of support that ensures they remain safe in their own living environment but also offers carers some respite opportunities
