WELCOME to the South Croydon Centre
Welcome to our Day Centre, which has been supporting and supplying our services to the elderly of Croydon for over 30 years. The Day Centre Trust was one of the first of its kind in the locality, being started in November 1981 and we celebrated our 30th Anniversary in November 2011, with a grand “Tea Party”
We provide a happy and convivial environment, where visitors can make new friends and have some fun. If this appeals to you, give us a call. We do have a number of disabled visitors, however, we are unable to provide medical or nursing care.
Join our party and have a good time.
Terry Currion, Chairman, South Croydon Centre
What We Do At The Centre
We are a Day Centre for the elderly of South Croydon and the surrounding area, providing them with a balanced hot meal at a very reasonable cost and a range of stimulating activities in a warm and convivial atmosphere.
The Centre is open on Mondays and Thursdays of each week from 10am to 4pm. In a typical week it hosts around 30 older people aged 70 plus, many with a range of disabilities, and the total number on our books is about 40. The Centre is run under the direction of its Management Committee by a Co-ordinator, who is assisted by an Assistant Co-ordinator and on a rota basis by some 40 volunteers.
Occasional outings into the countryside or to London or to the coast are arranged. Transport by minibus with tail-lifting facilities is made available to enable the less active to visit the Centre, which has easy disabled access. Fund-raising activities are held, such as sales of donated goods and raffles.
Our catchment area is bounded by a circle of 1½ mile radius from our premises.
