Memory Café - East Grafton

Memory Café - East Grafton

Our East Grafton café meets fortnightly on Mondays for afternoon tea, a speaker or entertainment, and a chance to socialise with others 'in the same boat'. Professionals are on hand to discuss any aspect about living with dementia in an informal, friendly environment.

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.
