Social clubs – Friendship and Respite under one roof

A day at one of our groups can be hugely beneficial to people living with dementia, as well as their carers, who can take a break knowing their loved one is looked after.

Our social groups take place at the Claygate Centre for the Community. Groups are run on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from 10am to 3pm.

Groups are run by specialists and volunteers who focus on the strengths and abilities of the person with dementia, to provide activities that will be engaging and suitable for everyone. Each group has its own personality, following our ethos of living well with dementia. Members enjoy a range of activities and socialise in a safe and welcoming environment with trained staff on a 1-5 client ratio. A lunch is provided along with drinks and snacks.

Attendance of the groups is subject to assessment, where we would ask you to visit us at the Centre to ensure we know as much as possible about our new member.
