Our Day Centres
Our day centres provide an environment that is warm, friendly, and safe for all. We provide a caring, comfortable, and enjoyable atmosphere for anyone who joins us, with the aim of being one big family with many friendships being formed along the way. Our staff are professional and fully trained and can put even the most anxious person at ease. We offer a range of activities across the day, which are both physically and mentally stimulating.
Our Kettering day centre in Rockingham Road is a smaller centre which caters for up to 20 clients per day. It has a homely feel and we have our own garden, which is used throughout the summer.
Our William and Patricia Venton Centre in Northampton is the largest of our three day centres and is currently undergoing refurbishment. We will soon be able to take more clients and will have improved facilities. Over Christmas our day care staff

took some clients to a party at Weston Favell School where they were treated to lovely sandwiches, mince pies and a choir. We would like to thank The Rotary Club Northampton Becket for the free tickets
to see Jack & The Beanstalk at Royal & Derngate. Seven clients accompanied by three equally excited helpers had a fantastic time. Our clients enjoyed making Christmas decorations, and other festive crafts and were also visited by Mr and Mrs Santa who gave out gifts.
Our centre at Foxfields in Northampton is open Monday to Thursday and is currently benefiting from the enthusiastic input of local Health and Social Care students. They have introduced new activities such as Gingerbread decorating, Christmas bingo cards and sing-a-longs, which everyone
has thoroughly enjoyed. Our manager and her team focus on supporting our clients’ independence and ensure they enjoy their time with us. We are usually able to provide transport and welcome enquiries.
