Commissioned by Adult Social Care, we provide peer support group sessions for residents living with dementia and their carers which enhance wellbeing and support people to live well with dementia. The Service supports people in the earlier stages of dementia.
We organise two Music for the Mind sessions, and two Memory Cafe sessions each month at various venues in Newham. The sessions are free but participants are welcome to make a donation to cover refreshments.
Memory Cafes provide a relaxed environment where people with dementia and their carers can meet and gain peer support, information and advice, and join in activities which will enhance their wellbeing.
Music for the Mind sessions use music to bring people together in a stimulating environment to express themselves and socialise to enhance wellbeing.
We also deliver a grant funded Memory Makers Activity programme for people who want to remain physically active and undertake a range of activities including appreciating nature and engaging in creative workshops.
