We offer a day club for people living with dementia and memory problems. We provide a high level of support and a wide range of activities for those attending, as well as providing all important respite for carers.

Our Bright Memories Club currently operates from the heart of Macclesfield. Open between 10.00am and 3.00pm, on a Monday (often including bank holidays), up to 8 older people will attend each day, undertaking a wide range of activities that combine mental, physical and social stimulation, including arts & craft, reminiscence, quizzes, gentle exercise, music therapy, group interaction, word games and all tailored to each individual and their choices.

Refreshments will be provided throughout the day, along with a hot, two course meal at lunchtime.

As a local charity focusing on the needs of older people, we have many years’ experience of providing interesting, stimulating and appropriate activities for people living with dementia. This service builds on that experience, using a combination of paid staff and volunteers, to ensure those we are supporting and their carers receive an excellent level of service. Our support service is suitable for anyone with memory problems. We do not offer any assistance with personal care but can offer support to ensure that everyone who does attend has a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
