Southampton Living Well

Feel part of the local community, take part in activities and make new friends. We provide you with a quality and bespoke service to suit your needs.

Southampton Living Well offers daytime activities and a place to go to for older people living in Southampton. Former day care centres have been transformed into thriving activity hubs promoting friendship and fun as well as day trips and activities.

We understand that people have different life experiences and interests – our flexible and tailored approach means we cater for a wide range of requirements.

If life has changed in some way, or you are feeling lonely and would like to meet new people and make new friends, we have a wide range of activities you can choose to join in with.

Examples of our activities include:

  • Trips to the seaside, local parks and garden centres
  • Lunches out
  • Visits to special interest groups such as ‘Open Voices’ at the Mayflower theatre
  • Visits to sports grounds to watch a team play such as watching Hampshire play cricket at the Ageas Bowl

  • We have a number of transport options available, including a door-to-door bus service by our fleet of accessible buses.

  • A healthy home-cooked lunch and refreshments are offered throughout the day.

  • Don’t worry if you think it might be difficult for you to do these activities. We can come and visit you to discuss how we can help. We have staff trained in care and support work who can accompany you should you need it.
