Three new Community Cafés begin this November with more to follow in the new year.

Local History Club will be held on the 3rd Monday of every month from 10:30am -12noon. This group will have the opportunity to enjoy handling museum artefacts and guessing what they were used for, share local history, stories and discover hidden treasures. There will be games, quizzes, tea, coffee and biscuits. The café is open to everyone.

The Memory Club will be held on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month from 10:30-12noon and is especially for people with dementia and memory loss and their carers. This will be a reminiscence group enjoying artefacts from recent history including toys and games from the 1950s – 1970s and will include activities using different senses, a chat and tea, coffee and biscuits.

The Wellbeing Café is for carers and will take place on the 4th Monday of each month from 2pm- 3:30pm. This group will have a chance to chat, relax, try different reminiscence and craft activities with some games and maybe a stretch.

Anne-Katell would like to thank all those volunteers who have come forward to help run the cafés. She said: “We are really looking forward to getting started and welcoming you all to our free Community Cafes.
