The Mabel Churn Centre

Following nearly a year of logistical planning and refurbishment, we are delighted to report that The Mabel Churn Centre opened yesterday (27th October). This means that all our clients who were with us at The Parker Centre have now come and joined us at our newly decorated facility. The Home Care services team has also moved here alongside the Charity's main operational team. The Prevention Services section will join us later next year.
This move enables us to take on more clients and reach out to more older people in the Borough with all the health and well-being activities, advice, and information we offer.
If you are interested in day or home care services, please contact our Head of Care Services, Venetta Hunt at venetta.hunt@ageukenfield.org.uk or by calling 020 8351 1131 if you have any queries.
As mentioned above, this move has been in the making for some time - you can read the formal announcement by clicking on this link.
The refurbishment work that has been undertaken upgrades the facility to reflect the modern-day needs and legal requirements of a dementia centre. It takes into account feedback received from our clients as well as insights from our qualified and dedicated day-care team who care for them.
It is a spacious building with a lot of natural light and even includes a courtyard and dedicated outdoor space. Its design reflects the needs of those who are restricted in movement or are wheelchair bound - for example there is a slope to the main entrance. Accessibility is a key aspect of the refurbishment plans and we will look to make the building dementia friendly through the use of colour.
As you'll see from the images, much has been done but there is more to do! Monies raised will be used in all aspects of the building's infrastructure and design - from lighting to security, from chairs and tables to crockery and kitchen equipment, from activity packs and exercise equipment to plants and gardening tools, from shelving and cabinets to IT and utility work, from chairs and tables to pictures and paint, the list is endless - and your support will help make it all possible. Donations can be made via this link and gifts of £500 or more will be accredited to the giver on our donor wall which will be sited in the main reception area.
The move marks a significant step forward in our mission to support and enrich the lives of older residents across the Borough.
