The service is based in the Woodburn Community Hub building and provides a warm, supportive environment where people over the age of 65 can come together to experience meaningful social engagement, make friends and try out new opportunities.

The main purpose of Grassy Riggs is to alleviate social isolation and exclusion. The service provides a meeting place, drop-in and support for carers, as well as people who are cared for. They also run thematic groups every week, including a knitting group, a digital skills group, and more.
