Save Our Day Centre in Norfolk

Closure of the Swallows Day Centre in Salhouse, Norfolk is closing at the end of next week which is a desperate situation. The person who owned The Swallows Day Centre passed away in January 2019 after a 5 year battle with cancer. It was their wish that The Swallows Day Centre would remain open.

Why is this important?

The staff recently have had to turn away 9 new referrals due to the closure so there is potential money still to be made. The Local Government should be investing in these day centres not closing them. I would have thought that we should be helping people remain in their own homes and support family carers who need that respite. The Swallows Day Centre provides a home from home and the difference between The Swallows and most other day centres is that the centre takes on clients with extra needs such as people that need feeding etc. For anyone moving from The Swallows with certain needs they will need to travel a distance to find an alternative day centre. Why then is this not an important issue! I would be happy to talk about how it is affecting my family too.

Please help!
