ST ANDREW’S HUB
supported by Life Changes Trust and Go for It
Have a look at our recent video https://vimeo.com/746901692/ca82d1dce1
A diagnosis of dementia or dealing with memory issues even without a diagnosis, can be very scary and affect everyone in the family circle. The support we offer is for the whole family at any stage – and also at times of bereavement. You are welcome to attend The Hub with or without a diagnosis and carers and wider family members are always welcome too.
We have an active team of volunteers who have been PVG checked and we offer support three times every week.
The Dementia Hub is supported by the Community Mental Health Team for older people.
There is no charge for the support we provide (except when we go on trips)
Tuesday 11.30 – 2pm Drop in…..
for some time to chat, get support and make new friends over a cuppa. We have a light lunch together around 12.45pm
Tuesday Carers Space
On the first two Tuesdays of each month 11.30-12.30, we offer a dedicated Carers Space and support is provided by our volunteers to enable carers to participate

This is a weekly art class for people living with dementia and is run in partnership with Crossreach. All materials and the support of a professional artist are provided. No experience of painting is necessary.
We have regular exhibitions of our artists’ work.
