It's been a while since our previous post, so I thought we were due an update on the dementia support hubs going into 2013.
Our hubs are for people with a recent diagnosis, or memory loss worries, and have a dual aim of connecting people with others in a similar situation, and inviting guests from local organisations of particular interest to carers and people with dementia.
We want to ensure people have the information they need, to adjust to life with dementia in the present and planning ahead. The groups are informal and welcoming to all.
Urmston Hub
Conservative Club, Crofts Bank Road
First Tuesday of the month (6th Nov, 4th Dec, 8th Jan etc)
1:30- 3:30 pm
Hale Hub
Hale Library, Leigh Road
Third Monday of the month (19th Nov, 17th Dec, 21st Jan etc)
1:30 - 3:30 pm
Carers Group and Post-Christmas meet
Our Friday Carers Group at Butler Court will cease from January 2013.
Instead, we are starting a floating group, to meet in various public establishments around Trafford every 6 weeks. Carers are welcome to attend all the dates, but we also extend to those who just want to come along when we are at a local venue. Carers can treat themselves to lunch if they wish.
Before our carers group gets started in earnest, we will be having a post-Christmas social, to which both people with dementia and carers are invited:
Friday 13th January, 1pm at The King's Ransom in Sale.
People will be able to buy lunch or simply come for the company. If you would like to come, please let the dementia advisers know, so we have an idea of how many will attend - on 0161 746 3944.
The 2013 Carers Meetings are planned as follows, 1 - 3pm:
Monday 11th February at Mersey Farm, Ashton on Mersey
Tuesday 26th March at The Roebuck, Urmston
Wednesday 1st May at The Moss Trooper, Timperley
Thursday 13th June at Dunham Massey Estate
Friday 26th July at Sale Water Park
Monday 23rd September at The Cottage, Hale
Tuesday 29th October at The Urmston Hotel, Urmston
Wednesday 11th December at The Hare and Hounds, Timperley
Please note, the above dates are only for carers.
As always, don't hesitate to call on 9161 746 3944 with questions or enquiries.
