Welcome to Wade

WADE SHOP CHRISTMAS EVENT – STARTS THURSDAY 3 DECEMBER

Come down to Rose Street and have a look at our wonderful selection of festive outfits, gifts and decorations!

WADE NEEDS YOUR HELP!

Please take a few seconds to go to the Ecclesiastical Insurance’s annual 12 days of Christmas Giving Campaign, and nominate us by clicking on the orange 'Nominate a charity' box on their website.

We could be awarded a donation of £1,000 which is desperately needed at the Day Centre during this time to help keep us up and running for our Members, many of whom so greatly rely on us.

Wade's charity number is 1178937.

Thank you very much in advance for your support. Please share wherever you can.

Coronavirus updates

The Day Centre has reopened

A message from our Chairman

I am delighted to say that the Centre is now open after more than 4 months of lockdown. However, we are limited to the numbers that can attend to comply with social distancing, and at present the number of people we are allowed has been reached, so we cannot take any more. As this situation changes, we will update this website. I would like to thank all our staff, Members, their families and all our supporters for their loyalty and understanding at this very difficult time.
