Transport
Transport A limited service close to the vicinity of the Southville Community Centre is available. The reason for this is the travelling time involved in transporting members to the Day Centre. Service users who live outside of this vicinity may still attend as long as they are a resident of London Borough of Hounslow but they will need to organise their own transport. Transport is included in the cost of attendance for those within the catchment area of the minibus. Please contact us for more details.
