Supporting GVS

Dad is 86 and has been attending Jubilee since 2023. He loves it! Initially going once a week, we then increased to twice and it really gives his week a boost with activities and social interactions. The mini bus collects him from the residential home and he really enjoys the relaxed journey there. Particular activities he talks about are group card games, bowling and arts and craft themed things.

My mother looks forward to going to The Russels every week because she gets to meet and talk to other people. It gives her something to do and gets her out of the house. As soon as I get in from work she tells me about who she has spoken to and what they talked about, and what ever else they have done that day.

Mum really loves coming to the Russels three times a week. She is a sociable person and because she lives on her own, when I'm not here it provides essential social contact. She loves games and quizes and enjoys the activities. She benefits a lot from having a good lunch three times a week as she often eats very little when carers prepare a meal. Mum has started having her hair washed once a week, which she thinks is brilliant and so cheap! Thank you so much for providing this excellent service. It’s also incredibly good value.

Everyone at Jubilee (and in the office) are fabulous, so welcoming, friendly and they really do go above and beyond their remit to help all the clients.  Mum loves her days at Jubilee, especially the times when there is live music and dancing.  After she was unable to continue to play whist, Jubilee provided a lovely place for her to socialise and keep in touch with friends. As a family we cannot recommend Jubilee and their staff and volunteers enough. Thank you.
