Our Vision

At Braid Health and Wellbeing, we see an ageing population as an opportunity, rather than a challenge and one which is vital for the progression of society. We are working hard towards delivering radically different approaches to providing our care and support for those experiencing conditions of ageing.

Our aim is to develop a wide variety of mental and physical wellbeing services, which are accessible to all. So whether your passion is singing, dance, films, being active, mindfulness, knitting, building things or just chatting away to like-minded folk… we’ve got something for you.

Activity Clubs and Classes

We provide activities such as relaxation classes, exercise classes, art classes with our resident artist, a singing group and much more. We also have regular performances from musicians and magicians. These activities can be accessed for free by our Day Service clients or for a small fee by anyone within our community who is over the age of 50. Check out our activity calendar or Contact us to find out more.

Digital Support

We run a free weekly digital support group for clients which is available to anyone over the age of 50. This is a great way to socialise from the comfort and safety of your own home while taking part in fun activities guided by our Care Team. We also have KOMP Devices available on loan.

Review

“My son Paul attended the dark room today and we were met with friendly faces. We were taken round to the room by Tasha and my first impressions of the centre was that it had a lovely welcoming feel”. Paul was really looking forward to using the sensory room and indeed it didnt disappoint. Paul and his PA really enjoyed the experience and Paul is really looking forward to coming back. He couldnt wait to tell his dad all about it and became very animated when chatting about it. As a parent I was pleasantly surprised at the atmosphere and standards in the centre. I will be recommending the room to our friends whos sons/daughters may benefit from the rooms. Could I also add the rooms are ideally situated away from the hustle and bustle of the centre. The staff I met today were lovely”
