Dementia Support Cafe and Memory Bags

Following the successful launch of the City of Joondalup’s first memory cafe in March, we are now holding monthly Memory Cafes on the fourth Friday of each month at Duncraig Library. The next Cafes will be held on:

• Friday 27 September
• Friday 25 October
• Friday 22 November

The Cafe is delivered in partnership with Forget Me Not, a not-for-profit organisation that supports those living with memory loss, their carers and loved one. The program aims to provide a supportive social network for families and carers of those with dementia in a friendly, relaxed environment.

In addition to the cafe, a set of Memory Bags have been developed and are available for loan with a library membership.

The Memory Bags include themed books, activities, props and conversation prompts that can be used by families, friends or carers of people living with dementia as a way of triggering happy memories and nostalgia.

Forget-Me-Not Dementia Support is a registered association that holds community get-togethers at local cafes around Western Australia.

For further information or to register interest in attending the cafe, please visit Ticketbooth or call 9400 4790.
