We are getting into the Christmas spirit here at the Sedbergh Centre as the decorations go up and plans are being put into place for the annual Christmas Fayre. We have good news about the refurbishments too and are pleased to report that the upstairs rooms are nearing completion and the refurbishments are continuing! We are so pleased and grateful to the Marks & Spencer team for their commitment and generosity to our charity.

Sedbergh Centre Christmas Fayre 


Saturday 29th November 201410am to 4pm

Come along to the Sedbergh Community Centre and see Santa in his fabulous new gingerbread house grotto. There will be plenty of stalls for you to buy your Christmas gifts and many activities to get the kids involved in. You will also be able to get a tempting hot sandwich and drink from our community café. Here’s what’s on offer:

Santa’s grotto * sweets and refreshments * raffle & tombola * model railway show * free activities & games * Christmas cards * wrapping paper * gifts * bric-a-brac * personalised items * jewellery * colouring competition * face painting * cakes & buns plus lots more

Admission £1 (children 50p) includes a FREE drink!

Could you help with a small donation?

As a registered charity we have to self-fund all activities and resources here at the centre and our Christmas Fayres help to subsidise these. We need donations of bottles, chocolates, food tins or biscuits for our Christmas hampers and general gifts for our tombolas and stalls. Every donation, however small will be so gratefully received.

Helpers Required

Can you spare a couple of hours to help us with wrapping, decorating, painting and general tasks? The Sedbergh Centre would be very grateful for any help between now and the 28th November. Please give us a call on 01274 679843 if you are available. Tea, biscuits and good company supplied!  

Toddler Christmas Party

Tickets are now available for the Parent & Toddlers Christmas Party on the 16th December 2014. They cost £1.50 each plus 50p for a second child. There will be a visit from Santa and plenty of Christmas activities to keep our little clients entertained. Please note that non-ticket admission is £3 on the door.

Take care – it’s Halloween

The Sedbergh Centre’s Carers’ café enjoyed a spooky Halloween party last month when carers took part in flower arranging and picture quizzes. There was some lovely food and some carers even had a relaxing massage!

Carer? Our group is FREE to you

The carers’ café is held monthly at the Sedbergh Centre and all carers are invited to come along for some well-deserved respite. Sessions are free and our clients all enjoy the time-out. Come along and join us on Wed 19th Nov and Wed 17th Dec from 10:30am until 12.30 pm.

Young at Heart Group

Do you feel lonely or isolated? Would you like some good company? The Young at Heart group meets once a week at the Sedbergh Centre for social activities, games, laughs and refreshments. If you are 50+ and would like to join us, we would love you to come along! The group runs every Wednesday from 1pm until 3pm. Admission is £1. Call us for more information on 01274 679843 or just turn up on the day. We are a friendly bunch!
