Description

The Centre is a place where the older people of Hemel Hempstead, Dacorum and beyond can come and enjoy company, have a fresh nutritious lunch, play games, surf the net or just chat. But it is much more as well.
The Centre offers security, companionship and care; it is modern and very well equipped and they offer a range of activities from companionable silence to gentle exercises with Wii. Plus, we offer a series of ad-hoc presentations and group or individual activities

Activity description:
