Loneliness and social isolation can have a major impact on both the mental and physical health of older people.
Mere and District Day Centre provides a safe and comfortable place for the older community in Mere and the surrounding area to meet socially, with interesting and stimulating activities and enjoy a hot two-course lunch.
The Centre welcomes guests from within a 10 mile radius of Mere, Wiltshire, also taking in parts of Somerset and Dorset. The map below provides an indication of the areas covered. Click on the image for a larger version.
The service is for people aged 60 or over, and referrals are welcomed from GPs, health workers, social workers, clergy, relatives, neighbours, local organisations as well as self-referrals.
A board of trustees manages, supports and gives strategic direction to the Centre, which is a registered charity. As such, we are dependent on the generous support of our local community, through fundraising activities, donations, grants and legacies.
