Dementia Friendly Tea/Coffee mornings
Join us for our dementia friendly tea/coffee mornings - First Tuesday of the month 10am - 12noon
​Caring for a loved one who is beginning to show signs of dementia or memory loss can be a challenging and often overwhelming experience. It can raise many questions: What should you do? What should you avoid? How can you best communicate? Where can you find help and support?
​
We understand the experience you’re going through, and we want to offer a space where you can connect with others in our local community who are encountering similar challenges. That’s why we’re hosting a free tea/coffee morning once a month, specifically for those caring for someone living with memory loss or dementia.
​
Who is it for?
-
People living with memory loss or dementia
-
Carers, family members, and friends
​
What to expect:
-
A warm, welcoming environment
-
A chance to share experiences and ask questions
-
Support and guidance from those who truly understand
-
A perfect opportunity to strengthen bonds, share stories and uplift one another
​
Whether you’re looking for advice, support, or just a friendly chat, come along and have a cup of tea/coffee with someone who understands and wants to help.
We look forward to seeing you at Bramley Care, Unit 24B, Wincombe Business Park, Shaftesbury, SP7 9QJ (Posted September 2024)
