Dementia & Memory Loss

If you, or someone you know, are aged over 55 and a Kensington & Chelsea resident living with dementia or memory difficulties, we can offer support and advice in a range of ways, both in groups and on a one-to-one basis. 

Group support

Memory Cafés
Our Memory Cafés are monthly gatherings for people with memory difficulties and their friends and family. They provide a great opportunity to socialise and lunch is provided. Sessions are run from 1-3pm and are held in the north of the borough on the first Tuesday of each month, and in the south on the last Friday of each month. For more information, and to join the Memory Cafés, contact Mandy on 020 3181 0002 or email mandrews@aukc.org.uk.

Exercise for the Mind
Our Exercise for the Mind project is a twelve week group exercise course for people with dementia and memory loss. These sessions are held on a weekly basis and make up a structured programme designed to improve mobility, whilst also providing the opportunity to socialise and enjoy yourself. For more information about Exercise for the Mind, contact Jo on 020 3181 0002 or email jreilly@aukc.org.uk.

We are currently able to provide transport to both of these groups for those who need it.

One to one support

Dementia Support Workers
Our Dementia Support Workers make weekly visits to people with dementia to support you to pursue your interests, maintain independence and retain social contacts.

Dementia Advisors
If you have been recently diagnosed with dementia, our Dementia Advisor can provide support to you and your carers or family to navigate local services.

For more information on one-to-one support, contact the Dementia team on 020 3181 0002 or email dementia@aukc.org.uk.
