Living at this service

Centaur Court is ready to welcome someone new. People living here enjoy walking, shopping, listening to music, watching television, volunteering, gaming, gardening, socialising, swimming, watching football, and being in the community. At Centaur Court, people choose how they spend their time. We hold bi-monthly meetings to discuss what activities people would like to do. Day trips to Blackpool, Leeds, Manchester, Blackburn, and local museums are favourites. We’ve even been on canal trips as a group.
