About Hackney Caribbean Elderly Organisation
HCEO is a small, vibrant charity based in Stoke Newington providing support to older people from the local community from our warm, welcoming day centre. We are fully inclusive, open to anyone over the age of 55, but the majority of our members are 70+ and from the African Caribbean community. Our lunch club operates 4 days a week, Monday to Thursday, with one of those days specifically for older people who have mild to medium onset dementia.
The club provides an opportunity for members to meet up with others in a friendly, accessible environment and receive a hot, nutritious 2 course lunch cooked freshly each day on the premises. While at the Centre, members take part in exercise and dance classes, arts and crafts workshops, cultural activities, gardening, film afternoons, chats on healthy living and much more. In addition, we offer help and support via our Advocacy service for issues such as securing benefits, getting foodbank deliveries, help with utility bills, arranging transport applications, etc. We also organise trips to the seaside, theatre, museums and take our members away on holidays, along with their family & friends, for much needed breaks.
