Our staff are warm and friendly, and they genuinely enjoy being here. They are passionate about their work and go the extra mile to ensure our members receive the best care and have an enjoyable visit.

The team creates a delightful environment at the day centre. A recent visitor noted, “You can tell a lot about a place in the first 15 seconds. This day centre is friendly and inviting.” This is a direct result of having a dedicated team working towards a common goal, making my role as Manager an absolute pleasure.

Finding the VIP Centre has been, for both of us, a ‘life saver.’ always have a really warm welcome from very professional, caring staff. VIP to us is a very important place – a real refuge and respite for the carer. The service is essential.

Singer

I provide weekly singing sessions for VIP Day Centres, which I really enjoy. My singing for the brain sessions really encourages the members to join in with singing, dancing and using instruments. The music that I use is from the eras that they grew up in, and most members remember all of the words and request their favourite songs to share with others which encourages reminiscence sessions.
