Arlington Manor is a care home for older people in Girton. There is a regular programme of events and activities for care home residents that local older people can attend for free. If you are a parent with a baby or toddler, you can come along to the Baby & Toddler sessions.
This activity is good for wellbeing because
- getting out and about keeps boredom at bay;
- you will meet new people and might make new friends;
- having sociable activities as part of your weekly routine keeps you active and gives you a boost - but if you can't make a session then that's fine too.
