This week sees the establishment of a Memory Café in Silverton. It is being set up by our retired Practice Nurse Trish Jones. It will provide an opportunity for participants to meet regularly with other people with memory problems and their carers. Its aim is to present a chance to exchange experiences and to give and receive emotional support. Everyone is welcome and it also offers a drop in service for anyone who has concerns about their memory or the memory of a loved one or a friend.
The Memory Café will be run by trained volunteers with support from health professionals. It is due to open on Thursday 16th June in St Mary’s Church Hall in Silverton from 2pm to 4pm and then will be open every Thursday afternoon.
