The Centre has its own hairdressing salon, snack bar, shop and library. A chiropody service is available for those referred by their GPs.

Lunches are served every weekday. There is a choice of menu and Members are charged £3.50 for a meal. If paid for separately, the cost is £2.80 for a main course and 70p for a dessert. Themed lunches are also arranged throughout the year.

The computer room is open each weekday 9.30am-3.30pm to all members of the general public. There is no charge to use the computer, apart from a nominal charge for printing and stationery.
