Loneliness is a silent struggle which affects many of us at certain points in our lives, but this emotion is particularly prevalent in the elderly; according to statistics by Age UK, more than 2 million people in England aged over 75 live alone, and over a million of those often go over a month without speaking to a friend, family member, or neighbour. As loved ones move away, spouses pass on, and health challenges arise, older adults often find themselves spending long stretches of time alone.
Back in the summer of 2023 The Princes Centre took over from the Risborough Social Club to keep the Club running every Friday afternoon.
We won a top award last night, Community Project of the Year with the SME, We are now through the National Finals in December at Wembley.

The princes centre held a very successful information day for people in their ‘golden years’ there were over 20 stalls offering information on keeping safe, socialising, as well as positive health care.
The Princes Centre welcomed Zahir Mohammed, chairman of Buckinghamshire Council for a visit to the centre.
Princes Risborough’s multi-award winning day care provider, The Princes Centre, will soon receive a major refurbishment to improve and extend its facilities that are enjoyed by over 100 clients every year.
The good news this month is that, with the lifting of restrictions, the centre is able to welcome the return of their volunteers, and other visitors, albeit with having to bear with the need to take a lateral flow test, sanitise their hands and wear a mask. The continued safety of our clients remains a priority.
