Moray Resource Centre

About the day service at Moray Resource Centre

Moray Resource Centre in Elgin reopened in November 2021 following the suspension of services due to the Covid pandemic.

The building provides a welcoming, safe and stimulating environment for the provision of a day service for vulnerable adults living in west Moray whose health and wellbeing outcomes can best be met through a building-based day opportunity.

In response to increased demand for day care, the service has been extended and now operates five days a week, Monday to Friday. 

The service has a focus on reducing loneliness and social isolation in older people who benefit from staff support to socialise, take part in activities and for their personal care needs.The day service also provides unpaid carers with the opportunity to take a break from their caring role.

Moray Council transport collects people to take them to the centre and drops everyone home again at the end of the day. While at the centre there are opportunities to take part in a programme of indoor and outdoor activities such as armchair exercises, bingo, word games, carpet bowls, music therapy, reminiscence activities
and much more! 

There is no charge for this service. You will only pay for your meals and snacks at a reduced rate.

The centre continues to operate within enhanced infection prevention and control measures to help minimise the risk of a Covid outbreak among service users and staff.

Community use of the Moray Resource Centre

Prior to March 2020, community groups were able to book the centre for their meetings and activities.

We regret that at this time it is not possible to open up the use of the building for community use in the evenings or at weekends when the day service is not running.

There are many other community assets which are available to groups including community centres, sports centres, town and village halls, church halls etc.
