MARCUS GARVEY DAY CENTRE REOPENS By Roy Taylor
The Marcus Garvey Day Centre with Charitable Status was established in 1984 as a voluntary sector organisation to primarily provide day care services to meet the needs of African|African Caribbean people, and welcome people of other communities. The Marcus Garvey Day Centre has re-opened, thanks to widespread public support and we’ve improved our services to meet the needs of the aging African Caribbean community. We can provide culturally sensitive support to those with dementia physically sensory and mental health disabilities. The Charity provides a service to residents of rural communities with limited or no access to culturally appropriate services and provides opportunities and access to other services for Black Elders, particularly those of the Windrush Generation who are isolated in their homes.
The Day Centre also provides day care for the Citizens of Nottingham who suffer from Dementia and Alzheimer diseases and afford respite breaks for their carer’s. The Day Centre also engages the service users in Art and Craft activities particularly those with dementia, including board games, floor exercises subjected to their ability to do so. The Marcus Garvey Day Centre is open 4 days per week, Monday-Thursday and the opening hours are 08:30 in the morning to 16:30. If you your parents or family member require Day care services, please contact the Marcus Garvey Day Centre at 0115-9792906 or Adult Social Care, Nottingham City Council-0300-131-0300.
