The Feelgood Factory provides both practical services and social activities for older people.

Practical Services

Our volunteers provide services to make life easier for older people and to enable them to remain in their own homes.  At the moment these include:

• The Shopping Service
• Mow and Grow (gardening)
• Befriending

For more details about these services see our Community Services section.
