Local nature-based memory café helping those living with dementia

Local residents living with dementia and their carers are invited to join a nature-based memory café at St Mary’s in South Woodford.

“As a forest school practitioner, I am well aware of the benefits of nature to mental health and wellbeing. So, we use seasonal, nature-based activities to spark conversations and enjoy sharing tea, coffee and cake. It provides a comfortable space for participants to connect,” said organiser Rachel Summers.

The free sessions take place on the first Sunday of the month from 2pm to 3.30pm.
