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.

Easter Fundraising Fun Raises Over £4,300

Easter Fundraising Fun Raises Over £4,300

It was a cracking Easter at The John Betjeman Centre, we hosted an Easter themed Afternoon Cream Tea with over 30 people attending for delicious cakes, sandwiches and of course scones with jam and cream! The event helped to raise over £300.


Manager Em Burt said: “It was a lovely atmosphere. We love hosting events like this and bringing people together over some good homecooked food and a cuppa – our only downfall is that we are overfeeders, so everyone went home with a box of treats to enjoy.”


In the run up to Easter, Em came up with a brainwave to email all the town’s businesses and ask if they would kindly all donate a £5 gift voucher each so that she could make one big hamper full of the vouchers for one lucky winner.
