Biggleswade Day Centre for older people review
Following extensive mapping and engagement and activities with Biggleswade Day Centre service customers, we developed a proposal for a new enhanced day service.
At its meeting on 11 October 2022, Executive approved a proposal to implement a new day centre model as an alternative to Biggleswade Day Centre and subsequently close the current centre, relocating the service to the independent living scheme on Sorrell Way, known as Chamomile Gardens.
People who use the service were supported to move to the new service, which began on Monday 2 December 2025.
The people who use the service and staff collaboratively came up with a new name for the service and it will now be known as Willow Branch.
Chamomile Gardens
Chamomile Gardens is an Independent Living scheme on Sorrell Way. The day service being relocated here enables the full range of care and support needs, a variety of activities and provides access to shared on-site facilities of a modern standard.
