New Beginnings Day Centre

Opening times

We are open 4 days a week, Tuesday-Friday.

About the Day Centre

We offer the chance for people to share a day with others in a welcoming and safe environment, enjoying a range of activities based on people’s own interests and needs. Some examples of the fully supervised activities we have enjoyed include a wide range of arts and crafts, singing, dancing, music appreciation, quizzes, games, occasional cooking, walking, gentle exercise and very light gardening.

So that we can provide the right level of support to everyone, we take a maximum of ten people per day, creating a friendly atmosphere that enables everyone to engage. We offer breakfast on arrival and refreshments throughout the day. Our members also enjoy a two-course hot meal freshly prepared daily in the Withywood Centre’s café.  We have great feedback from the people who come and are often told how helpful the service is for family carers too.

To find out if this is right for you or for someone you care for, we offer free taster sessions with no obligation. This means you can join in and see if it fits in with your interests and individual needs before you make the best decision for you.

Transport is available to people who live in the Withywood and surrounding area.

We are funded via Bristol City Council for people meeting their criteria - referrals are made through Bristol City Council. Alternatively, we offer private places where you can complete a self-referral form.

Where are we located?

How can you access the service?

Bristol City Council fund our service for people who meet their criteria. To see if you or someone you care for is eligible, do ask Bristol City Council for an assessment. However you can also pay for the service yourself if you prefer and in that case, you would need to complete our self-referral form, available here.
