The Olive Centre
The Olive Centre (previously Lowestoft’s over 60s centre) merged with Access Community Trust in March 2023, who are now responsible for its care and management.
The Lowestoft Club for Elderly People was founded by Miss Jeannie Mann and Lady Somerleyton in 1956. It was the headquarters of the Lowestoft Elderly People’s Welfare Committee. The original building was demolished and continued in the building we see today in 1987.
There is no membership fee and you do not have to pay a penny to use the centre. Many people use our space to meet friends, enjoy a drink or bite to eat and to engage in the variety of activities and socials we put on.
What’s on – Books, magazines, playing cards and board games are always available, as well as our very own ‘Jigsaw Corner’.
Special clubs, evening events and other special functions also take place.
A coffee bar is open for drinks and snacks and our fantastic kitchen team serve a beautiful hot lunch everyday at 12 noon (order by 11:30am).
The centre is open 9:30am – 3:00pm on Mondays to Fridays, with food and drink available everyday.
