Why Yer Support Maitters

Livin wi dementia can bring big chynges, no jist for the person wi the diagnosis but an aw for their faimily an them that care for them.

Chances for social interaction, meaningfu activities an community connection can become mair an mair important.

At Memories, we see the value o thae experiences every week.

We see freendships developin, conversations flowin, familiar sangs bringin back memories an fowk enjoyin the simple pleasure o spendin time thegither.

Oor Café is aboot muckle mair than refreshments an entertainment.

It’s aboot belongin.

It’s aboot helpin fowk keep connections wi the warld aroun them.

An it’s aboot rememberin faimilies that they dinnae hae tae face the challenges o dementia alane.

Yer support helps us keep makkin thae moments.
