A new community resource space in Long Eaton, the Noble Independent Living Centre, is now attracting groups including Mencap, Parkinson’s, the MS Society and Erewash VIPs.
The large accessible centre provides space for all elderly and disabled organisations to hold seminars, demonstrations, classes and meetings in a well equipped, modern environment, complete with its own café with complementary broadband.
With ample seating and state of the art audio visual facilities, the centre is also close to picturesque, accessible parkland and the centre’s own allotment, where it produces natural produce for the café.
Building on its initial success, the centre has plans to run a number of additional activities including a book club, writing, painting and poetry classes, history, yoga, chess and bridge clubs and a variety of performing arts classes and events including comedy, big bands, choirs and drama.
Centre manager Oliver Scott said: “We established the centre to raise awareness for elderly and disabled people, to help them to live independently. By launching the centre with a network of supporters behind it, we hope to contribute towards safeguards against poverty among these groups.”
