The Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch are delighted to announce a new Memory Café, generously funded by Dementia Action Alliance. This will take place every other Thursday in the Learning Space, between 10:30 – 12:00, from the 19th May.
The new Memory Café is for people living with dementia and their carers to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, take part in fun activities and access information. We will provide a safe and supportive space to discuss your own dementia diagnosis, or someone else’s and think about what it means for the future; meet and learn from other people in similar situations; keep active, make new friends and feel more confident.
If you know someone who may be interested in attending sessions, please do share the news with them. Sessions will be free and open to everyone, no pre-booking required.
We’re also looking for a small number of volunteers to ensure the smooth running of the Café, including regularly attending sessions, welcoming attendees, leading short activities/games, having a chat and providing a friendly face. If you or someone you know may be interested in volunteering, please get in contact with Kerry Hunt, Education and Partnerships Producer, via kerryh@queens-theatre.co.uk.
