Centre 81

For more than 40 years, Centre 81’s Skills and Activities Centre has been a lifeline for disabled people, their families, and carers across Great Yarmouth, and the surrounding area. It is a place where people can connect, build friendships, develop new skills, gain confidence, and most importantly, be themselves in a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment.

In 2022, we proudly relocated from our long standing home on Tar Works Road to Yare House in Morton Peto Road. This move marked an exciting new chapter for Centre 81, enabling us to provide significantly improved facilities and create more opportunities for the people we support.

Today, Yare House offers spacious activity and social areas, a fully equipped catering kitchen, accessible kitchens for our members, modern wet rooms and bathrooms, and purpose designed spaces to promote learning, independence, well-being, and community inclusion. The building continues to evolve as we develop new services and opportunities that respond to the needs and aspirations of local people.

Yare House is also home to our innovative training and development programmes and provides valuable meeting and event space for community groups, charities and partners who share our vision of creating thriving, inclusive communities.

Whether through fundraising, volunteering, partnership working, or making a donation, there are many ways to support Centre 81 and help us continue making a difference. If you would like to find out more or arrange a visit, please contact us on 01493 852573. We would be delighted to welcome you to Yare House, and show you the impact your support can make.
