Dementia Friends Sessions
Anyone of any age can become a Dementia Friend.
In a friendly relaxed atmosphere, you can chat to others who may be going through similar experiences, have a cup of coffee or tea and a biscuit and enjoy fun reminiscence quizzes, exercises and games along with singing familiar hymns and saying the Lord’s Prayer together. Having faith is very important to many people with dementia and their carers. This coffee morning will help people affected by dementia to enjoy socialising as well as helping people to participate in activities relevant to their faith.
