A Memory Café is a friendly, no-pressure social gathering for individuals living with memory loss, such as Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, and the family or friends who care for them. It’s a chance to enjoy a judgement-free environment with engaging conversation and even a treat or two!

Why it’s worth a try:
• Friendly faces – meet others who understand your journey
• Support for family members – share stories, laughs, and encouragement
• Brain-friendly fun – gentle activities to spark joy and reminisce
• A reason to smile – because joy doesn’t fade with memory
