The Baptist church in Stalham has launched a new cafe for people with memory loss and their carers.

Stalham has a new Memories Café which meets in the newly refurbished School Room at Stalham Baptist Church. It is open on the last Monday of the month between 10:00-12:00 and aims to provide a welcoming social space where people with memory loss, and their carers, can gather to have a cuppa, enjoy a range of activities, make new friends and enhance their quality of life.

Organiser, Diana Gordon, says “We had been recruiting volunteers for several weeks before our first meeting, held on the 24th June. It was wonderful to have people from the church, and the wider community, wanting to help with such an important project in this very challenging area of care.”

Apart from the opportunity to meet others who face similar problems, activities include games, music, jigsaws, painting, knitting, and baking. There are also “memory books” which can prompt those attending to reminisce.

For future dates see the below calendar.
