About The Victoria Centre

Proud Of What We Do

The Victoria Centre offers a warm, welcoming, friendly space for everyone who walks through our doors. 

Through home cooked meals, a place to connect with friends and make new friends, it has played a vital role in preventing social exclusion.

We provide meals, activities and social contact for the elderly community, and this is the core ethos that we stand by, as our aim is to make sure every person over 55 in the Forest of Dean has the opportunity to have a home cooked meal three times a week.

We prepare, cook and serve meals three times a week, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays. 

We offer a safe, warm and welcoming environment for our diners, making sure all feel comfortable. Whether you are a first time visitor or have been with us since we began, you will still feel the same warm welcome, as we continue to welcome new diners as well as serve our existing members.

As a charity, we are continually looking for funding to keep the centre going, as our meals are priced at an affordable rate which means that we have to source funding to make sure we keep our doors open to the local community.

We look forward to seeing you here!

A Social Necessity

We bring together hundreds of diners every week, offering social interaction and enjoyment.

Community Led Charity

At the heart of what we do is the local community, as we welcome diners from all of the Forest of Dean.

Run By A team Of Staff And Volunteers

With Carol our Manager and Pam our cook, we rely on a team of volunteers who give up their time to make our vision come true.

From serving our diners to engaging in fun and interactive games, our team do an amazing job to keep our diners happy, safe and well fed.

The Impact We Have Locally

Without The Victoria Centre, many of our diners would go days without a home cooked meal, and just as important, social interaction and engagement.

We can never under value the impact that The Victoria Centre and our team has on the local community, as work tirelessly to make sure everyone is welcome.
