Dementia Support in the Local Community
Memory Clubs for people with dementia and their carers running in Idle, Shipley, Keighley and Low Moor. Each Club meets twice a month for approximately two hours:
Memory Tree @ Idle, 2nd & 4th Tues, 11 am - 12.45 pm, Idle Baptist Church, BD10 9PE
Memory Tree @ Shipley, 2nd & 4th Weds, 11 am - 12.45 pm, St Peter's Church, BD18 4JH
Memory Tree @ Low Moor, 1st & 3rd Weds, 10.30 am - 12.15 pm, Aldersgate Methodist Church, BD12 0TW
Memory Tree @ Keighley, 2nd & 4th Fri, 1.30 pm - 3.15 pm, Keighley Shared Church Hall, BD21 5AD
During the first half of meetings people enjoy refreshments together whilst participating in reminiscence discussions, games, sing-a-longs and other dementia-friendly activities.
In the second half carers can go through to another room to talk to each other in confidence if they wish whilst we continue dementia-friendly activities in the main room.
Carers can attend meetings alone (for example if the person with dementia is at day care or in residential care) but people with dementia need to be accompanied by a supporter. This is usually the main carer but it does not have to be, it could be a friend, neighbour, relative or paid companion.
Please contact Elizabeth to book using the contact details above before coming to your first meeting.
