Living with dementia can bring challenges, but at Caf\u00e9 of Connections no one faces them alone. As we\u2019re a smaller caf\u00e9, we can easily adapt to the changing needs of our group, meeting weekly or fortnightly. Thanks to the cozy atmosphere of our cottage style neighbourhood house, you\u2019ll always be welcomed with a cuppa, a friendly smile from a friend and strength to endure <\/em>the toughest days.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9 of Connections has a maximum of 8 couples and is supported by 8 volunteers, many of whom have lived experiences themselves caring for someone with dementia. \u00a0The majority of the members living with dementia are men, so our activities include darts, cars, sports and outside games. This group uses 3 of the 4 rooms in the cottage, so you can hear the background laughter and conversation as if you\u2019re in your own home.<\/p>\n

This caf\u00e9 is perfect for people<\/p>\n
