Memory Matters
Memory Matters is a monthly activity group for people with dementia and a peer support group for informal carers. Both groups run at the same time. For those living with dementia they are encouraged and supported to engage in a wide range of activities with a view to increasing social inclusion, being creative, encouraged to reminisce, to laugh and build friendships. This session is delivered by staff and volunteers. For the peer support session, this is facilitated by a Dementia Adviser and allows your caring role. Sometimes, a guest speaker is introduced to discuss a dementia-related topic.
Once a month on a Tuesday in Towcester, Kettering and Northampton.
