Age UK East Grinstead & District offer lots of services for older people and their carers.

Our Dementia Service sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays are here to support those in our community who are living with dementia, and their carers. We can also offer support and guidance for those caring for the elderly and frail in our community.

Activity Centre

The Glen Vue Community Hub is a modern building, purpose built as a Community centre. Age UK moved here on 21st June 2019 with the centre being opened by Sir Nicholas Soames, the MP for Mid Sussex at that time. 

The Glen Vue Community Hub is situated just on the edge of the town centre. There is a pay and display car park just behind the building with disabled bays. Glen Vue is on Railway Approach and has a bus stop right outside.  It is close to the bus and train station which is only a couple of minutes walk. To help find us look on our Contacts page.

The Glen Vue Community Hub is home to Age UK East Grinstead & District and is where most of our activities take place. We have disabled facilities and our own chef and kitchen, ready to cook delicious lunches every day from Monday to Friday.

Trips and Holidays

We have been running Trips and Holidays for many years now.  When we first started we were only doing four trips a year and one holiday.  We are now doing a trip a month and four holidays a year (depending on Covid). This is from high demand from our members, which is great news.

When you come on the trips or holidays there is always a member of staff or volunteer to assist you or just there for company.  You never have to feel you are on your own.

There are deposits for trips and holidays so you can reserve your place. If you want to know more then call Lana on 01342 327046.

Daybreaks

We aim to help people maintain their skills and independence in a social and friendly environment, while allowing carers a relaxing break.

We offer a tailor-made service with activities planned around the needs of the individual, for those with early to mid -stage dementia and frail older people. Our social days involve group activities, stimulating games, a delicious lunch and all refreshments. We are also on hand to offer information and advice for carers and pint you in the right direction for other services and activities.
