Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland has partnered up with two local venues in Hinckley and Bosworth to launch two new Dementia Art/Craft Cafes.
Both cafes will start at the end of March and will be at the Pathways Centre in Hinckley and the Elohim Church in Barlestone. The cafes will be run by experienced Age UK volunteers, with the help of the venues themselves.
The aim of the cafes is to provide dementia sufferers with a place they can feel at ease and comfortable in. Each session will involve a variety of basic arts and crafts activities like card making, jewellery making, cutting/sticking crafts, memory boards, photo collage, plant pot painting and wind chime decorating.
Tea/coffee and biscuits will be provided free, with a cost of £3 per session to cover the cost of art/craft materials.
The Pathways Centre cafe starts on the 19th March and will run on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month from 10.30am to 12 noon at the Pathways Centre, Hinckley Baptist Church, Baptist Walk, Hinckley, LE10 1PR.
The Elohim Church cafe starts on the 28th March and will run on the last Thursday of every month from 10am to 11.30am at the Elohim Church Hub, Newbold Road, Barlestone, CV13 0DZ.
