New memory cafe opening this Thursday
If
you or someone you know is affected by dementia, there is a new memory
café launching at Emersons Green library this Thursday 11 September.
Come along to the new memory café and meet other people in a similar situation. This is a friendly and supportive atmosphere where people and families affected by dementia can get together and share their own experiences over a cup of tea and a slice of cake.
Staff and volunteers from the Alzheimer’s Society will be on hand to provide you with information and offer support. Although the café is run by the society with support from South Gloucestershire Council, the café is also suitable for people with other forms of dementia.
The library will be open as usual so you can also take the opportunity to borrow books or DVDs, use the computers free of charge, and find out about library services.
The café is open monthly between 2.30pm and 4.30pm on Thursday 11 September, Thursday 9 October, Thursday 13 November and Thursday 11 December.
If you’d like to find out more contact your local Alzheimer’s Society on 0117 961 0693 or email bristol@alzheimers.org.uk
Update 12/09/2014: I've just been told that there's also a Memory Cafe at Yate Library, open from 2.30pm until 4.30pm on the last Thursday of every month. More details here.
