At Deirdre Knight Centre, we strive to alleviate the effects of social isolation and loneliness by providing opportunities for social interaction in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.

Social isolation and loneliness are challenges faced by many groups. At Deirdre Knight, we support adults and older people who are affected by a degree of physical or mental disability and are experiencing social isolation. Deirdre Knight aims to promote independence, privacy, choice, dignity and safety, to support the people who use our services to be part of the wider community.
