    Who can come?

    The Raleigh Centre is suitable for all older people. Facilities range from hairdressing and podiatry (chiropody) to snooker and table football.

    A stimulating activity programme include outings, exercise, discussion groups, art and craft, music appreciation, games and singing.

    The Bradbury Centre is suitable for more active older people, with a range of activities including Tai Chi, yoga, discussion groups, chess, bridge, dance, photography, a state of the art computer suite and an inviting all day cafe.

    Transport
    We can provide accessible door-to-door transport to and from the Raleigh Centre for people unable to travel independently. Our own transport services are, however, limited: we will help you to find alternatives.

    How much does it cost?
    It costs £5.00 per day to attend Raleigh or Newent, which includes refreshments, activities and a two-course lunch. Door-to-door transport on our minibus costs £3.00 (£1.50 each way). Age Concern Kingston is a non-profit organisation. We aim to keep our charges as low as possible whilst providing a quality service. Charges in our centres are subsidised. Charges at Bradbury vary according to activity.

    Computer Classes
    We are currently offering computer classes focusing mainly on the internet.

    The classes are designed to accommodate people with varied knowledge of computers, from complete beginners to more advanced, please contact us if you are interested.
