The Burr Centre in Redbridge helps people regain confidence after illness and offers a welcoming environment where they can learn new skills and make friends.
People who use the Burr Centre have a range of physical and sensory disabilities and may have had, or currently have Parkinson’s stroke, multiple sclerosis, heart conditions or cancer, or suffer from a sensory illness. Adults of all ages are welcome.
The aim of the centre is to stimulate them, get them involved in activities and boost confidence which can easily be lost during or following illness. Trips also enable people to get out and about with the security of trained staff and volunteers.
Facilities
The Centre is equipped with a computer suite that has five workstations and offers very popular computer training classes two days a week.
Activities
- arts and crafts such as painting and clay modelling
- card making for Hannukah, Rosh Hashanah and birthdays
- quizzes, discussion groups
- board games and card games
- occasionally a film is shown in the afternoon
- trips to places of interest, museums, the coast, London attractions
Catering
Tea or coffee and toast is offered to members when they arrive in the morning.
A full kosher lunch menu of 15 main courses is offered as part of a three-course meal. Salads, jacket potatoes and sandwiches are also available. The choice of food helps members start to make decisions on their own again.
Information
The centre is open 9.30am - 3.30pm Monday to Friday
