Date:
Following a two-year closure due to the pandemic, Brockhill Extra Care sheltered accommodation will open its community day centre next week – and everyone is welcome!
Visits to Brockhill had previously been limited to guests of tenants only in the interest of public safety, but activities will resume from Monday 4 April 2022 as everyone is welcomed back.
Open Monday to Friday, between 9.30am and 3.30pm, Brockhill gives elderly and vulnerable Woking residents the chance to take part in various engaging and exciting activities whilst making new friends and having a bite to eat.
The café is open weekdays from 10.15am offering a selection of teas and coffee, light bites and cake, whilst at noon, a two-course lunch is served where you can enjoy a hot meal and a dessert for as little as £5.50.
Activities throughout the day include bingo, boccia, seated dance, movies, quizzes, golf and more, with special seasonal events also taking place throughout the year. The full timetable of activities can be viewed online.
Thursdays are especially popular, as the on-site hair salon opens, offering great deals on haircuts and care.
Looking forward to welcoming back visitors, Michelle Chilcott, Independent Living & Extra Care Manager at Brockhill, said: “I am so excited to finally see the day centre at Brockhill full of life and laughter again after these past two years. It will be a pleasure to see old faces back whilst welcoming newcomers.
“We are committed to supporting all Woking residents and reopening Brockhill’s day centre was a priority, once it was safe to do so, as the social opportunities that our day centres present are important to many who otherwise may be subject to loneliness.
“Anyone who is interested in finding out more can pop in for a chat to learn more and come see for themselves what they can get involved in. There is never a dull moment at Brockhill!”
Transport can be arranged to the centre, including a door-to-door pick-up and drop-off service for £5.40 per day, via Woking Community Transport. To arrange transport to Brockhill, call 01483 743975 or visit www.wokingbustler.org.uk
Please note that we require at least 24 hours’ notice prior to your journey if you would like to book the Buster Bus.
