Welcome To Fusion Xtra Cafe

The Fusion Xtra Café began in 2014 with addressing the issue of social isolation amongst marginalised individuals who were not attending any provisions within the immediate geographical community.

The age group ranges from 55 upwards. We provide physical exercise for all with movements that can be safely repeated within your own home. Reminiscence programme, social and educational trips and indeed many of those who attend actively contribute to taskforce/consultation e.g. frailty, falls, memory loss national with NHS England.
