Long Ashton Memory Cafe has been running in the village since 2019. We provide a relaxing place where people living with memory loss and their carers can meet and share experiences. Refreshments and home made cakes are provided. We ask that visitors living with memory loss are accompanied. Carers who have lost loved ones are very welcome to join us. We have a team of volunteers to make sure everyone is comfortable; a holistic therapist offering hand/neck/shoulder massages and various activities are provided to add to the enjoyment. We also have information about local support services which can help people to live well with dementia. .
The Cafe is free. We meet on the fourth Thursday of each month in the Jubilee Pavilion (July and August in the Club Room). New visitors are always welcome. See posters on the village notice boards or go to our website for specific dates.
