Dementia Café is a service to help enrich the lives of people living with Dementia and their partners/carers. We are running a number of free Dementia Café's in and around Maidstone area to offer a safe and calm environment to meet others living with dementia, share experiences, get information and advice, as well as to help you get out of the house and socialise.

We will also be offering peer support groups and carers group to offer ongoing support, support for those with a new diagnosis of Dementia, support for family and carers and support for those with young onset Dementia.

Who can join?

The Dementia Café's are open to anybody who has an interest in dementia – whether you are personally living with dementia, a carer or family member, or even just wanting to find out more. Come along and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, cake and biscuits, have a chat and maybe make new friends. You can also get information & advice and signposting. No need to book and free to attend but any donations greatly appreciated.

Refreshments will be supplied free of charge.
