Day Centre website keeps up with the times

THAME and District Day Centre, the independent local charity which has met at Thame Community Hospital in East Street for the past 30 years is launching a new website.

The Centre’s manager for the past 11 years, Gill Coleman, said: “Our work is about keeping people in contact and this is a way we can aim to keep in touch with our supporters, potential volunteers, and yes, especially those who would like to attend the Centre and those who may be in position to help them or advise them. A downloadable referral form can be found under the tab “Joining us” and a donation button has been added, should anyone wish to help us continue the good work that we do.

“With this launch we are keeping up with our town and we are keeping up with the times!”

The bright and beautifully designed website, created by Chinnor Website, details the work of the Centre which meets three days a week. The site’s statement of Welcome says: “We provide a day out with plenty of refreshments, a two-course hot meal and a variety of entertainment for people from Thame and some nearby villages, who are elderly, frail or perhaps isolated.”

Gill added: “Members and volunteers who have been involved with the Centre over the years will testify that it does what it says – on the Website.

One volunteer driver said: “This place contributes to everyone’s enjoyment of life, including mine.”

The Centre meets on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9.30 till 3pm at the Thame Community Hospital site in East Street, Thame.
