Respite care is a great short break option for a family member or loved one that also helps give carers some time out to recharge the batteries. There are a range of circumstances which might require respite overnight or support for day care.

It could be needed after a hospital stay or just as a little extra support for caregivers. Respite care ranges from a few days and even up to a few weeks. A loved one, who lives in their own home, will have their short respite stay in one of our village centres.

Good People

PLEASE NOTE: Our upcoming film screenings for the next few weeks at Forum North will be on TUESDAYS not Thursdays as the venue is not available then.

So, on TUESDAY, the 11th June at 6pm, WFS will be screening the delightful documentary giving insight into the life and times of Noel Coward - Mad about the Boy.

Our 8pm screening will be the powerful and mesmerizing film, Goodbye Julia.

MAD ABOUT THE BOY
UK, 2023, Documentary, 91 mins, Rated M
Cast: Maggie Smith, Lucille Ball, Laurence Olivier, Frank Sinatra, Rupert Everett, David Niven, Michael Caine, Harold Pinter.

A remembrance of Noel Coward's life and career as playwright, director and composer.

Sir Noël grew up in poverty and left school at nine years old. Yet, by 30, he was the world's highest paid writer and a star on Broadway.

Coward wrote, directed and acted in some of the finest plays of all time. And, he was also a spy during the Second World War!

Against all odds, Coward defined an era and led an extraordinary life. This is his inspirational story, told in his own words and music and unique home movies.

"If anyone wants matchless wit and style, watch Mad About the Boy. - Independent
