Honiton Dementia Action Alliance brings together groups and organisations across our community committed to transforming the lives of people with dementia and their carers. Honiton Dementia Action Alliance is attempting to bring about a community-wide response to dementia.
Honiton Dementia Action Alliance is coordinated by a steering group who meet once a month. The group is made up from a diverse range of members of our community including carers. The steering group actively seeks consultation with people with dementia and always welcomes new members.
Our purpose is to galvanise action by coordinating and supporting local groups and organisations to join the alliance. We do this by offering Dementia Friends awareness sessions, advising on and supporting dementia friendly activities, environments and policies and sharing these initiatives.
Honiton Memory Café is a friendly meeting place for people with memory problems, their families and their friends.
A well established volunteer led group Honiton Memory Café currently supports over 50 people living with the early stages of dementia.
Come and join us on the 2nd Thursday of every Month!
Memory cafés are informal, social places where you can go for advice and support.
You can now help raise donations for Honiton Memory Cafe without you even leaving your sofa.
A diagnosis of dementia should not stop people being in control of their lives or doing the things they enjoy.
