A Pampering Day at Our Memory Café with Barking & Dagenham College Students

On 1st April, our Memory Café was extra special as we welcomed a group of talented beauty students from Barking & Dagenham College. Their thoughtful presence and gentle care added a lovely touch to our regular gathering, creating a calming and cheerful atmosphere for everyone who attended.

A Touch of Relaxation

The students offered hand and arm massages, along with file and paint sessions. These small yet meaningful acts gave our guests a chance to unwind, feel cared for, and enjoy some personal attention. For many, it was a rare chance to pause and enjoy the kind of self-care that lifts the spirits and brings people together.

Smiles All Round

Laughter and friendly chatter filled the room as the treatments took place. Attendees shared stories, exchanged smiles, and appreciated the soothing experience. It was a reminder of how valuable these moments of connection and care can be.

Looking Ahead

We’re pleased to share that we hope to welcome the students back again in the near future. Some of our regular attendees have even suggested adding makeup sessions next time – an idea we’re certainly keen to include. Creating opportunities like this helps make our Memory Café a space where people feel seen, included, and supported.

Thank You

A heartfelt thank you to the students from Barking & Dagenham College and everyone who helped make this day such a success. Their kindness made a lasting impression, and we’re already looking forward to what’s next.
