Centres for older people

Tandridge has two centres for older people.

The Douglas Brunton Centre, Caterham. Telephone: 01883 347230

The Centre is open Mondays to Fridays between 9.30am and 3.30pm. Activities on offer include bingo, an art club, exercise classes, IT facilities, outings and holidays. The Centre has its own hairdressing salon, snack bar, shop and library. Chiropody and assisted bathing services are also available.

Pop in and meet the staff and see what is on offer. If you phone first to arrange an appointment, staff can ensure they are free to show you round.

We are always looking for volunteers to help with the running of the Centre and the activities. Please go to our volunteering page for more information.

What can I do there?

The Events and Activities Programme for April - June 2013 details the activities that are available at the centre and provides information on forthcoming special events.

Lunches are served every weekday. There is a choice of menu and members are charged £4.10 for a meal. If paid for separately, the cost is £3.30 for a main course and 80p 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 computers, apart from a nominal charge for printing and stationery. Sessions can be booked in advance and training is available. The public can use the internet, send an e-mail or use the computer to type a letter or document.

Please refer to the Douglas Brunton Centre Annual Report 2011-12 for further general information.

We have completed our Annual Customer Satisfaction Survey for 2012. Many thanks to all those to who participated and gave us their views.
