Support group details

Group Description

This group is for anyone who is supporting a person with dementia. We meet monthly, and every second month, we have a guest speaker who can offer different ways of practical support or information relevant to dementia. On the alternate month, we have an informal coffee morning where people are welcome to chat in a "safe space" or have a bit of social respite over a cuppa. We are only a very recently formed group with a small number of attendees, most of whom have a loved one in our care or are cared for by our staff in the community.

Who can Join

Anyone who is touched by dementia - whether they are supporting a partner, family member or friend with dementia. We also welcome the people they are supporting.

Contact hours

Every second Tuesday of the month.

Becoming pregnant unexpectedly can be a frightening time…time that can leave you feeling out of control & anxious about your future. One of the most effective ways to get back a sense of control in your life is to find a safe place to step back, be unhurried & think things through.
