Our Service
Age UK Calderdale and Kirklees have friendly centres in both areas where older people can get together for a chat, lots of different activities and a hot and healthy midday meal. All our centres are fully accessible.
Age UK Calderdale and Kirklees can collect you from home in our wheelchair accessible minibuses and transport you to your nearest centre where you will be welcomed with a cup of tea and a friendly face. We provide activities on request, and these vary from bingo which is our favourite and most requested activity, quizzes, arts and crafts, listening to music and IT lessons.
Our warm and caring staff are our biggest asset, and they are all well trained and vetted to offer you the best possible service.
Weekend Wellbeing Centre
We currently offer Weekend Day Care on Sundays in our Rimani Wellbeing Centre in Halifax, including plenty of entertainment and opportunities for days out.
The Service is for adults aged 65 years and over or people with a physical disability who can maintain their own personal care needs whilst accessing the Service.
The service is free, but transport is £11, and a hot 2 course meal is £5.50. Referrals can come from GP's, family, or self-referrals.

Feedback:
We try to be flexible at all our centres and to offer a friendly and safe environment for all our clients and we have an overwhelmingly positive response:
“May I take this opportunity to thank you for allowing my client to have her lunches with the group. It had a positive impact on her general health and provided a sensible solution to some of the issues at that time. She enjoyed the company of Age UK clients and joining in with activities, especially bingo! Your staff were and are always kind, considerate and inclusive."
