I am working to create a number of memory cafes in the Gedling area of Nottingham.

Already acknowledged to be a great benefit to people with dementia and their carers, family and friends, the cafes cannot get funding from Health or the Local Authority. Money is tight and although everyone is very supportive and keen to see the cafes grow and develop, they are not able to fund them to run.

We already work with a fantastic group of volunteers to run our first cafe in Nottingham and rely on support from Gedling Homes to fund a part-time health and wellbeing post.
