Caxton Café and Activities Centre was first established nearly 30 years ago, initially as a daily Pop in centre in the Roman Road.  The main aim has always been  to ensure the older people we support and those living in our local community have access to the support they need to remain active members of their community and to have opportunities to share their skills and talents with others.
