The Memory Café at Shire Hall Museum provides socialisation and activities for people living with dementia and their families. Delivered by fully trained Age UK volunteers the Memory Café includes object handling and engaging conversations.

Participants at the Memory Café said:

“Shire Hall’s Memory Café is fun, interesting and it’s great to meet people with the same issues. There are very few places like it in the area.”

“It is so nice to feel comfortable in an environment where everyone understands our circumstances. We don’t have to explain or apologise- we’re all in the same boat.”
