BUDDIES DEMENTIA CAFE

Buddies Dementia Cafe is for people living with dementia and their carers. We meet every first and third Thursday of the month between 10.00am and 12.00noon where we provide entertainment, refreshments, advice and friendship in a safe and secure environment. We also provide trips and meals out. The meetings are held at Nettleham Village Hall, Brookfield Avenue, Nettleham, LN22SS.
