Hi there all who read this…read more I would like to post my review about the Maurice Jagger Centre for the disabled. After16 years of devoted caring for the elderly in nursing homes and in there own homes, dealing with mental illnessess. accidents, hospital admitions and the passing over of the people and their families that you have cared for for many months and even years it always pulls at your heart, so after many hours of debating with myself I came to the conclusion that I would no longer carry on with this career. But hey guess what , as I entered the centre I was taken aback by how these elderly people with all there disabilities and illnessess were so pleased to enjoy each others company and have a cup of tea and lunch and just generally socialise with ease. As I am only 50 I wasnt sure at the begining wether I would feel as though I was intruding in these peoples space but I can honestly say that each and everyone of these people have made me feel welcome and now they ask where I am when I am unable to attend every Thursday. The food is good and nutritional, the staff are always helpful and the activities in the centre are good. Sometimes I have to admit I have to remind myself that I am only a visitor and that I need to stop working on automatic pilot. WELL NOW I FIND MYSELF WANTING TO VOLUNTEER AT THE CENTRE.

Over the years it has expanded to not only fit in with the times, but to adapt to every need possible. The leisure centre has much to offer such as two swimming pools; one large one for adults and a smaller one for children and teaching swimming lessons. Also within the centre is a large sports hall for football fanatics for 5 a side football as well as badminton, basketball and many other activities. The fitness suite is brilliant. Its all brand new and up to date and has over 100 stations and its nice and cool to so you don't get too warm when your working them muscles! Outside they have a fantastic synthetic turf ground for 6 a side football which is popular with many people. Not only that but they have dance studios, squash courts, spas, saunas and a relaxation area!! It is amazing. If you are looking to get fit or just want to participate in salsa classes or boxercise, Copley Recreation Centre is an ideal place to start whilst not breaking the bank.
