Why not join us at one of our FREE Memory Cafes taking place across Maidstone?
These sessions are open to everyone, and are more than just a hot drink and a slice of cake. In each of our Café sessions you’ll get the opportunity to:
• Meet other people living with memory challenges and find out more about their experiences whilst also sharing your own.
• Make new friends who live in the same area as you.
• Benefit from advice and support from our friendly team, who will be happy to answer any questions you might have and can tell you more about the support Age UK Maidstone, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge can offer.
• Find out more about the other support and advice services which are available in the local area.
Carers & Partners can also attend session to hear from the experiences of others, and find out more about the support available to help with their caring responsibilities.

What can you expect from our Cafes?
Our Cafes are relaxed drop-in sessions. There is no expectation for you to arrive at the start – you can come at any time, and join us for as little or as long as you like. Partners and Carers are welcome to join us, too!
You can come along to as many of our sessions as you want! You could choose to come to the session closest to you, or can travel to each of our Cafes every month.
Please note that we can’t provide travel, so you’ll need to arrange your own travel for these sessions.
