The Memory Cafe welcomes All. A warm welcome for people with dementia or other problems associated memory loss (and their families / carers). Our seventy- eigth monthly event. Theme - Dance


Today we were delighted to welcome some of the Manor Mill Ladies Morris group to the cafe. They showed us some moves and a sample of a dance. They explained their bells, costumes, flags and garlands. Their jolly accordian music filled the hall with bounce. Our Rotary Singing Troupe out did themselves with elegant attire and sang songs from the shows and folk songs on the theme of Dance.

A Memory-Cafe is where there is a warm welcome for people with dementia or other problems associated memory loss (and their families / carers), who's new memories may be partial and confusing. The aim is to evoke old memories that are complete and comfortable through, for example, refreshments in china cups, home made cakes, photos and documents from past years, songs and poems and informal talks.

Parking and disabled access easy.

Dial-a-Ride can provide transport - just get in touch with them here.

See you next month Friday 6th October 2017  !       Our Theme is Harvest !
