Home Instead has started a new monthly Activity & Social Group for older people at The Brighouse Rest Centre in the heart of Brighouse.
Home Instead is committed to helping reduce loneliness and isolation in Calderdale’s elderly community and have set up a new monthly Activity & Social Group in Brighouse. Sessions take place every third Thursday in the month at the popular and centrally located Brighouse Rest Centre.
Each session runs from 2pm to 4pm and will help older people to get together, socialise and have fun playing indoor bowls, Kurling, Cornhole (with bean bags), quizzes and games. For those who just want to watch or talk, there is space and opportunity for that too.
The sessions are run by Home Instead in partnership with Re-engage the befriending charity for older people and entry is by donation. And if you have difficulties getting to the Rest Centre in Brighouse, the Access Bus is now available to book. To reserve your place call West Yorkshire Metro on 0113 348 1903. You will need your bus pass to use the service.
Whether you want to join in with the games or just join us for a cuppa, quiz and a chat, you will be given a warm welcome.
When: 3rd Thursday in the month.
Where: Brighouse Rest Centre, Park Row, Brighouse HD6 1AB – behind the old post office.
What: Bowling, Cornhole (bean bag throwing), Kurling, games, quizzes, conversation and refreshments.
Home Instead can also provide a companionship service for people who want to attend the sessions, but can’t get there.
