Memory Café – Twyford House
Here what the Memory Café offers in their own words:
"The Sid Valley Memory Café is a friendly social meeting place for people with all forms of memory problems, their families and friends and you are certain to meet other members who are facing the same issues as you. You can expect, in addition to a Big Welcome, plus tea and chat, a busy and varied programme of games, quizzes, bingo, musical entertainment and talks. It is also a chance to meet local health care professionals or, occasionally, to hear presentations from support associations. Our programme includes outings for members, and from time to time we also organise special interest groups such as walking and gardening."
