WHAT GOES ON AT BROOKLANDS
Brooklands is a hive of activity with something going on virtually every day, as you can see from the lists below.
Our regular groups and services include:
- Day centre groups that offer food and activities
- Special interest clubs and learning-based activities
- Treatments that require an appointment
Transport is available to and from some of our groups and some take a break either in the summer or over the Christmas period.
The Centre is also used by a wide range of local organisations - for example, Brownies, yoga and antenatal classes.
As the Centre begins to re-open after the COVID-19 restructions, please call 01908 614749 to check which groups have restarted.
