We are really trying to reach out to the rural community and are considering sending a bus out once a week, should there be enough interest to get the elderly out for a nutritious cooked lunch and entertainment.  We are open weekdays and have a chef on site to cook freshly prepared meals for over 50’s.
 
We are an independent charity that receives no government funding.
 
Just by following the @fairclosecentre page on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, they will be able to see what we are up to each day.
 
We are also interested to hear from people who may have time to come and run an activity for an hour, give a talk, sell something that may be of interest etc.

Come and join us for our annual community Christmas event
