The Service Tree Day Socials

Day care with a difference

The Service Tree Day Socials are held every Tuesday at the Holy Spirit Church Social Centre, Victoria Road, West Bridgford and every Wednesday at Tollerton Methodist Church Hall. The goal of the Day Socials is to provide companionship, interest and entertainment to older adults. The Day Socials are particularly designed to be beneficial to those with dementia and those that would benefit from greater social interaction.
