We are delighted to announce the launch of a new Memory Café in the West Cork Area for anyone affected by dementia. The first Bantry Memory Café will take place on Wednesday 1st of February from 11am to 1pm in the library in the Maritime Hotel. After that, it will take place the first Wednesday of every month in the Maritime Hotel for 2023.
Bantry Memory Café provides a warm welcoming and relaxed place to meet others also living with Dementia/Cognitive impairments, their family and friends as well as health and social care professionals. There will be free tea and coffee, some useful information and an opportunity to meet and chat with others. We would love to meet you and hear about what you would like from the Bantry Memory Café.
Juliette O’ Donoghue, Café Coordinator said “We intend the café to be a very warm and welcoming space for those affected by Dementia. You can get a cup of tea, chat to others and get useful information from health and social care professionals all in the same place.”
