Our Community Groups are there to be enjoyed by anyone living with dementia or experiencing difficulties with their memory, including their families and friends. All are welcome; people who can attend independently and/or for those unable to do so should come with a companion who can provide any support for them. We don’t provide transport for these groups and therefore it is your responsibility to get to and from this community activity, safely.
