Both our Beacon Club and Space Age Connections have been extremely successful and both have long waiting lists to take part. Here are some of the reasons why:

Feedback for Space Age Connections:

‘Thank you again for supporting Dad and ourselves. He really enjoys his visits; there is a real spark in him with these new outlets, which is great and very much appreciated’. – Family member to our Space Age Connections Volunteer

‘Our family are very thankful for the support and friendship you are kindly giving’. – Family member to our Space Age Connections Volunteer

‘I’ve only known my Buddy a few months and I just love going to visit her, she has a great sense of humour and we have a great giggle. Monday mornings with her are the best way to start the week! I want to thank you and her for allowing this all to happen’ – Space Age Connections Volunteer

‘The visits have been really positive for me. Knowing I visit my Buddy at a certain time gives me the drive to get up and get going for the day. The routine really sets me up positively for the day and week ahead’. – Space Age Connections Volunteer
