Activities in our building are free to MyLife clients. We offer some external activities which can be attended at a small cost.

When can I come and what can I do?

We are open on weekdays (and Saturdays upon agreement). We invite our potential clients to visit the day centre and meet with the team. Prior to starting the service, we will arrange for a support assessment to understand the client’s needs and offer a tailored schedule. In some circumstances, we may also be able to provide transport to/from the centre.
