BCOP are pleased to be the venues for new dementia cafes from September ’24 with the Birmingham Dementia Carers Hub (a partnership between Age UK Birmingham, Age Concern Birmingham and Dementia Carers Count Birmingham that provides a range of support to those who look after someone with dementia).
All our dementia cafes are free to attend.
What is a dementia cafe?
Dementia cafes are informal, monthly events where people with dementia and their carers can meet and get to know others on a similar journey. The meetings are run by experienced advisors who provide practical support, advice and information. They have expert guest speakers. Everyone is encouraged to take part in dementia friendly activities, which will include talks, music, arts and crafts, games and quizzes. They are a great opportunity to have a chat and make new friends.
