Community Coffee Meet-Up to Raise Dementia Awareness and Support

Home Instead Rugby is pleased to announce the launch of a monthly Dementia Awareness and Support Coffee Meet-Up, aimed at providing a welcoming space for individuals seeking advice and support regarding dementia. The first session will be held on Thursday 29^th August at 12:00pm till 2:00pm, at The Wycliff Rooms, Community Room, George Street, Lutterworth, LE17 4ED.

Dementia affects millions of individuals and families worldwide, and our community is no exception. Recognising the need for increased awareness, information, and support, this initiative aims to bring together those affected by dementia, their caregivers, and anyone interested in learning more about the condition.

Each meet-up will offer:

Expert Advice: Access to professionals and experienced Care Professionals who can provide valuable insights and answer questions about dementia.

Support Networks: Opportunities to connect with others in similar situations, share experiences, and build supportive relationships.

Educational Resources: Information on the latest research, and Care Professional strategies to help improve the quality of life for those living with dementia and their families.

Community Engagement: Ways for community members to get involved and support dementia awareness and care efforts.

“We believe that by creating a regular, accessible space for discussion and support, we can make a significant positive impact on the lives of those affected by dementia,” said Shona Hughes – Marketing & Recruitment Manager. “This coffee meet-up is not just for those directly impacted by dementia, but for anyone in the community who wants to learn more and contribute to a more informed and compassionate society.”

The Dementia Awareness and Support Coffee Meet-Up will be held on the last Thursday of the Month of each month at The Wycliff Rooms. Coffee and light refreshments will be provided, and the event is free of charge. All are welcome to attend, and no prior registration is required.
