Memory cafés offer a friendly welcome for anyone affected by dementia, or worried about their or someone else’s memory. They provide practical information and support, as well as the opportunity for people to ask questions and to listen to others’ experience. They also provide an informal and social environment in which to learn new skills, enjoy activities, listen to guest speakers and make new friends.
There are several memory cafes in South Gloucestershire, some are operated by Alzheimer’s Society and some are run by community volunteers and each has a different style. Please contact individual cafes for opening times:
