Now in its fourth year, this vital community initiative provides a welcoming and supportive space for those living with dementia, memory issues, and their caregivers.

The Memory Cafe is a place of connection, understanding, and fun. Attendees can enjoy engaging activities such as crafts, games, and social interaction, providing a chance to make new friends and find peer support. More than just a meeting space, it’s an opportunity to share stories, build relationships, and create joyful moments.

The Community Engagement Lead for Home Instead Telford South shared their thoughts: “We are thrilled to be able to continue offering these Memory Cafes, which are a valuable resource for those living with dementia and their caregivers. These sessions provide a friendly and safe space where people can come together to support one another in a non-judgmental environment.”
