Memory Wellbeing Centre

The recent formation of the service’s fortnightly Memory Wellbeing Centre has created a welcoming, informative, and supportive forum for people living with dementia and their carers to socialise and connect. Each two-hour session is hosted by our Admiral Nurses and Dementia Support Workers, who provide support and advice over tea, coffee, and biscuits, as well as guiding games and relaxed activities.

However, as the popularity of the Memory Wellbeing Centre grows, we are championing the case for the programme to become a weekly feature of the Dementia Support service, doubling the number of sessions delivered each month.

Each Memory Wellbeing Centre requires the input, time, and skills of our experienced Dementia Support team, including two resident Admiral Nurses and Dementia Support Workers. We also provide refreshments and tailored activities at every session. Most importantly, every Memory Wellbeing Centre is free to attend, removing financial barriers to accessing this critical and often transformational support.

A donation in support of our Memory Wellbeing Centre will enable us to sustain this lifeline service on a weekly basis, nurturing a network of allies who can come together to positively face the challenges of a dementia diagnosis.
