A Word From Gavin Williamson...............

Living in a rural area has a great number of benefits, but it does not come without its challenges and at some time in our lives and if we are truly honest, we all need a bit of help. I recently visited a fantastic new facility by Age UK Day Centre in Wombourne which gives support for older people and also for those that care for them. The centre currently sees 160 people each week visiting the facility which provides a wide range of meaningful activities that focus on strengths and abilities which help maintain daily living skills in order to retain independent living for as long as possible. In addition the service provides their carers the opportunity to re-charge their batteries in order that may continue to provide their support to their loved one.

For the past decade Age UK South Staffordshire has developed day services for older people who have dementia, a physical disability or other complex needs and provides day care in centres across the region in Penkridge, Cannock, Tamworth and I am so please that there is now one in Wombourne. The new centre will enable a further 50 older people to access this invaluable service each week.

The Centre has also recently applied for planning permission to locate 4 respite beds on the first floor of this building. These beds are always high in demand and will help and support carers to continue with their invaluable caring role. Guests are supported by a committed team of staff who are professional trained and who also benefit from help and support from a team of volunteers who provide additional support from activities, conversation, games, crafts, trips and excursions. From touring the facility and speaking to the staff, I am convinced that guests at the Day Care Centre will really enjoy spending time there, meeting new people, stopping them from feeling isolated at home and I know the centre will provide a fantastic service for those that use it in the community of Wombourne and the wider area. I am a huge supporter of those who give up their time to help in centres such as these across South Staffordshire and I’m immensely proud of the work that they do to support our communities and the most vulnerable in society.
