ABOUT UDC
Our cafés are teams of local volunteers working together under one supportive umbrella facilitating greater connections between people living with dementia, their families and their community.
We believe the key to personal wellbeing is social connectedness. It’s about having a community support network around you, understanding, accepting and including you. It’s no different for people experiencing dementia.
Through our cafés we empower people living with dementia to regain autonomy, boost their self esteem and improve their wellbeing. Members enjoy new connections through shared experience, activities or values, and enrich existing connections in an environment that encourages genuine conversation.
What is our Mission?
To empower people living with dementia.
