It is a fun, welcoming place to offer support to those living with Dementia, their families, friends and carers. Guest speakers give useful advice and information.
Families and Carers can find their lives becoming lonely and a bit more isolated, due to their loved ones condition. Memory Cafes offer them the opportunity to meet others in the same situation. This can be very beneficial to all.
