Fun and friendship for dementia sufferers and their carers

CHINNOR’S Forget-Me-Not, Monday morning Café is there to provide information, peer support and fun activities aimed at helping with co-ordination, brain stimulation, and general health and wellbeing, for people suffering with dementia, mental health issues, old age or isolation. Everyone is welcome to go along with their carer.

The group meets twice monthly 10.30-12.30pm at Chinnor Village Centre and visitors will be welcomed with a cup of tea and biscuit.
