Concern Wadebridge is an independent charity for the over 50’s. It is based at The John Betjeman Centre which has developed into a community hub for all ages. The charity and the centre provides a variety of activities including exercise classes, support groups and has a community café for people to come and have a natter. We also hire our rooms for meetings, events and private hire including birthday parties or concerts.

Concern Wadebridge also hires out mobility scooters and wheelchairs for short and long term hire. 

Manager Emma Burt said: “We pride ourselves on being a warm and friendly hub where people can feel safe. There is always someone to talk to and something to keep you entertained, as well as delicious food at affordable prices. Most importantly, the kettle is always on!”

The building is full of local history as it was the old railway station and houses John Betjeman memorabilia.
