Skills Centre

Members bring our skills centre to life every day and there's always support around from our trained and experienced staff and some great volunteers.

And the things we get up to range from arts and craft work to cooking, pub outings, bowling and shopping expeditions.

There's a much longer list on our activities page – but where there is something missing, you can be sure a member will soon suggest it. We love that sort of independence. We don’t want to tell members what to do, we want them to share their ideas with us. And they've always got plenty of good ideas.

The skills centre offers people a chance to work quietly on their own or in a group, knowing that there's always help on hand when they need it. There's always lots going on with events and activities outside the centre - from sailing and swimming to photography and tai chi.

Centre 81 is a join-in sort of place where members lead the way.
