If you are experiencing difficulty in your home there are many ways in which we can help.

We can either help you find more suitable accommodation

as well as properties with pullcords

Or offer services to help you to stay in your own home

Social activities for Older People

Social activities for older people include D.A.I.S.Y (Darlington Active Independent Staying Young) and G.E.M Exercise Classes for the Over 50's.

We also hold coffee mornings within the sheltered schemes.
