Landmark party at memory cafe
The cafe was originally launched five years ago by the Alzheimer’s Society, but when there was a risk of losing the funding for the cafe, the volunteers with enormous help and Support from Gracious Street Methodist Church stepped in to take over in July 2018.
The cafe provides a base for anyone with dementia, their carers, friends and family members, the opportunity to meet people, to reminisce and to share experiences.
