Daughter of day centre client: “My late father started attending The William and Patricia Venton Centre in September 2017 following the loss of his wife and he sadly passed away on Boxing Day 2022.
He initially found coming to the day centre every Friday difficult, but with time and the patience and support of the staff and volunteers at the centre, he grew to enjoy it and made friends.
The day centre accommodated to meet his individual needs, offering him the opportunity to spend one to one time with another client to play dominoes. From this, Dad made a valued friend and it is something I treasure. In the last year he became frailer, however the staff were always there with open arms to greet him and once settled
in his chair he would brighten up and make his jokes and enjoy the company of others.
I could leave him knowing he was in safe, caring hands with people who valued him for the lovely individual he was.
The manager and her team have gone above and beyond in giving him happy and fulfilling days at the centre. My thanks to them for treating him with such kindness, dignity and respect. It warmed my heart to witness the warmth and kindness shown to him. I have no doubt, as I have witnessed, that the staff and volunteers show such care and kindness to others at the centre. They are all special people.”
Thank you to The Rotary Club Northampton Becket for the Royal & Derngate panto tickets!
