Community support – our shared experience

Life is better when experiences are shared, which is why William Simpsons builds supportive relationships with the wider community, to provide enriching experiences that benefit residents and community members alike. 

The home has links with local schools, in and outdoor community groups and sports facilities.  We are also supported by local businesses, both large and small, and residents often enjoy the company of corporate volunteers visiting for the day.

Our links with other local charitable organisations allows residents to attend many external group activities including lunch clubs, choir, men’s shed groups, knitting groups and many others.

You may currently be part of a group that you would like to continue attending, we will do all that we can to facilitate this and ensure your links to your own community remain.
