A brief introduction
Since we began in 2006, our aim has been to provide local based support for those who are either living with a dementia or who are their carers, friends or family.
At our sessions, we give people the opportunity to meet others who are in a similar situation, in a relaxed and social atmosphere – carers can access information, share concerns and experiences, while a range of stimulating activities is provided for their loved ones.
We are a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, and affiliated to the Tavistock Dementia Alliance, and Devon Memory Café Consortium, with whom we hold the Quality Assurance Mark.
We were proud to have been shortlisted in the Clothworker's Company awards for Good Governance 2020; there were a large number of applications and sadly we did not win our category, but are very pleased to receive this certificate
