We welcome members within our community that may be experiencing social isolation, physical disability or mental health issues, learning disabilities and provide carer respite. The centre was first opened in 1987 by Mary the Countess of Strathmore as Forfar Day Care Centre. The premises were extended in December 1999 and in July 2003 to upgrade the amenities and

meet the changing needs of the community. Now known as the Deirdre Knight Centre. The facilities are located just of the Lour road in Forfar and we have two fully equipped minibuses to transport service users to and from the centre. On arrival they enjoy tea & coffee before taking part in a variety of activities and entertainment. As well as the social side of the centre it provides a care role with many visiting health professionals. where service users can be supported to access theses services within the centre. We cater for adults within our community that may be experiencing social isolation, physical disability or mental health issues, learning disabilities and provide carer respite.
