A group that meets three times a year across different venues.

It offers a moment to take a pause with other carers at a range of stages in their journeys with dementia. With the focus alternating between gently informative and soothing recollections, allowing termly group space to recuperate and recharge.

We invite speakers experienced in their field to present on a particular topic and offer discussion and sharing time to learn from each other.

Carers will be supported…

  • In small table-based groups
  • By our experienced volunteer team
  • Over a light lunch and refreshments

We are sometimes able to accommodate care for your loved one who is living with Dementia but other times this is not possible. We will always let you know well in advance so that you have time to arrange other care if needs be.

Please get in touch with us if you are interested in finding out more about this group.

"You certainly were to me one of life's earth angels. I will never forget the calm that you brought to that moment in my life."

Why do you come as a volunteer to help with events like Vintage Adventure in church? …Well, as I’m getting older, I realise that for an awful lot of the elderly, they’ve not got very long left to get to know the lord So I think this generation is the most important ministry. If you’re in with students and you mess it up, they’ve got a whole lifetime when they can met somebody who will correct it. We haven’t got that luxury so this is a very important ministry and I just want to do my little bit.

"I just wanted to say how much I am enjoying the February edition of Vintage Adventure at Home - it is packed full of interesting things. This is such a great resource for housebound people and I am very grateful to you for thinking of me....."

'This is something my husband actually wants to come to. It has been hard encouraging him to leave the house for new things. But he has really enjoyed chatting with some of the other men. It has been hard getting him to stop talking!' I've also found lots of people I had a prior connection with which has been a great surprise'
