Peer Support is a service for people living with dementia who have been recently diagnosed and/or are experiencing mild to moderate symptoms. We run a monthly, 2 hour session at Sheerness East Working Men’s Club, Halfway, Sheerness. The group provides the opportunity to meet others living with dementia, in a safe space, to share experiences, discuss coping strategies, offer emotional support and develop friendships. The group can chat informally, participate in discussions led by a member of our team and also take part in quizzes or table top games if they wish to. The group also provides access to information and advice from trained, experienced staff and volunteers who are checked by the Disclosure and Barring Service.
This group is held on the first Tuesday of the month 10-12
Please note, this service is not available outside Age UK Sheppey - Head Office's catchment area. We support all residents over the age of 50 across the Isle of Sheppey.
