Townsend Day Centre review (Houghton Regis)
Following extensive mapping, planning and engagement with Townsend Day Centre, we developed a proposal for a new enhanced day service.
A consultation process began on 9 January 2024 and ran until the 3 April 2024. During this time, people who use the service, their relatives and staff, had the opportunity to have their say on the proposed options.
At its meeting on 10 September 2024, our Executive approved the proposal to relocate the current day service from Townsend Day Centre to a new space at the Houghton Regis Leisure and Community Centre.
The move to the Leisure and Community Centre is pending. In the meantime, Townsend Day Centre service will continue to operate as normal, and the service remains open for new referrals.
The Houghton Regis Leisure and Community Centre
The Houghton Regis Leisure and Community Centre will provide an enhanced setting for some people who currently attend Townsend Day Centre. The new location offers access to a variety of leisure activities within a fully accessible community environment. In additional the new centre offers a Changing Place Toilet, hoisted swimming facilities, a café, gym, and outside spaces. We will continue to provide updates as the move progresses.
