Jan 2017 Girton Memory Cafe - St Vincents Close

Fri, Jan 6th 2017 at 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

The Memory Cafe welcomes All. A warm welcome for people with dementia or other problems associated memory loss (and their families / carers). Our seventieth monthly event. Theme - Panto !


Today we had such a good time.  Everyone was in a silly mood and the bright costumes and sing-along music and funny poems just made things worse !  And Oh What a surprise when Oswald the Ostrich (expertly controlled by Richard) made an appearance.  What a great start to the new year - and a fitting 70th Memory Cafe Celebration.

A Memory-Cafe is where there is a warm welcome for people with dementia or other problems associated memory loss (and their families / carers), who's new memories may be partial and confusing. The aim is to evoke old memories that are complete and comfortable through, for example, refreshments in china cups, home made cakes, photos and documents from past years, songs and poems and informal talks.

Parking and disabled access easy.

Dial-a-Ride can provide transport - just get in touch with them here.

See you next month Friday 3rd Feb 2017  !  Theme - St Valentines & Romance.
