Memory Café - Chippenham

Memory Café - Chippenham

Chippenham Memory café meets fortnightly for activities, chat, and a chance to catch up informally with dementia professionals.

As well as the general café, there is also a quieter area where couples can sit and enjoy the refreshments and entertainment.

What to expect

Our first café opened in 2009 as a meeting place for people with dementia and their families, at a time when there were few opportunities to socialise with others affected. Since then our seven cafés have developed into much-valued social and information-gathering occasions where people can strike up friendships, chat informally to professionals, find out more about dementia and support from a wide range of speakers, and enjoy refreshments and entertainment.
