Dementia support group relaunched in Harrogate district

Monday, 10 February 2025 07:11

Dales Diners is returning to Christ Church Community Centre in Darley.

Dementia Forward has announced that it's relaunching the Dales Diners group in Darley.

Previously run by Carers’ Resource, this popular dementia-inclusive group is an opportunity for people with dementia and their carers to connect with others in a friendly and supportive environment, whilst enjoying a 2-course lunch.

The group, lead by volunteers, meets on the first Thursday of every month from 1pm until 3pm, at the Christ Church Community Centre in Darley.

The cost of the lunch is £6 per person and advanced booking is essential.

This transition has been made possible by the support of Carefound Home Care Harrogate, who will be covering the cost of the venue and providing a staff member to support the event each month.

Danielle Ferebee, Recruitment & Community Manager said:

“Over the years, Carefound Home Care have supported Dementia Forward with their monthly coffee mornings in Burton Leonard, so we are delighted to be supporting them with their new venture ‘Dales Diners’.

“As a local provider of home care services, including to people living with dementia, we know how valuable a service like this will be.

“The monthly event will be a great opportunity for the community to come together whilst enjoying a meal prepared by local volunteers.”

Please note this is a community group, so carers are encouraged to attend with the person they support.

To secure your place, get in touch before the 25th of each month, by calling Dementia Forward’s Helpline on 03300 578 592 or emailing info@dementiaforward.org.uk.

For more information about the Dales Diners or Dementia Forward’s other services, call the Helpline on 03300 578 592, email info@dementiaforward.org.uk or visit the website www.dementiaforward.org.uk.
