Synopsis

A new support group for people with dementia has been launched by Alzheimer’s Society at the Wyvern Theatre, Swindon. The new Memory Café provides an opportunity for people with dementia and their carers to socialise and get much needed face to face support. Memory Cafés provide people with dementia and carers a platform to talk openly about living with dementia within a relaxed and informal environment. The group will also hear from a variety of guest speakers, including health and social care professionals and representatives from the local community, about topics and services relevant to them. The Swindon Memory Café at the Wyvern Theatre was launched on Thursday 13 February 2014 by Robert Buckland MP (South Swindon). The Memory Café will then be held every second Thursday of each month in the theatre café from 10.30am to 12.30pm. This is a free service.
