Please let me know if you would like to attend. If you book through the Towner the cost would be £5 per person, carers free. If you book through Memory Lane, people with dementia are free and everyone else is £5. Hope to see you there.
Games Sessions. Up till now we have focussed on active games with Defiant Sports. We will continue to do this, but if anyone would like to come along and play some board games or just have a coffee and chat, then we are opening up the session to this too. As winter is approaching, it seemed like a good chance to open up to people interested in a quieter activity. Chat to Carol if you would like to know more.
