WORTHING’S Guild Care was delighted to welcome Sir Peter Bottomley MP to Methold House.

The Worthing West MP had a tour of their lifeline community day services, which are based within the Guild Care Centre at Methold House in North Street, Worthing, and met many individuals who use them.

The services encourage independent living in older people and there are many activities, therapies and assisted bathing to support those who need extra help.

A hot lunch is on offer daily and everyone has the opportunity to access these services through their vital transport scheme.

Due to the success of the centre in meeting people’s needs and reducing social isolation and loneliness, Guild Care are looking to expand their current services.

Sir Peter said “All of Guild Care’s staff and volunteers are appreciated by the community of Worthing and the surrounding areas.

“They make a huge difference to the lives of local people.”

Growing older can be lonely and some people may find themselves isolated so to combat loneliness in older people,

Guild Care strive to provide day services that help people remain active and sociable from their host of activities, fitness classes, entertainment and parties.
