The report aims to improve understandings of #daycentres among social care/health professionals & potential collaborators. It showcases the complexity of these services & their diversity, shedding light on what makes them multi-faceted ‘interventions’. 2/6

The Covid-19 pandemic led to a greater appreciation of the need for in-person contact and the difficulties facing some older people when they could no longer meet other people in their #daycentre when these closed temporarily. 3/6

Decision-makers might like to consider the value & broader use of #daycentres (buildings & activities), focusing on to what they *do*, and *could* offer - to individuals/their staff/volunteers, the social care sector, wider community, local councils, NHS, & education sector. 4/6
