Timeless Connexions
On Thursday 5th September a new cafe dedicated to people living with dementia and their loved ones opened at the Meeting place @ The Hub in the Methodist Church Centre.
Local social prescriber Raj Chavda and the local NHS team Tracy Piper, Melton, Syston Primary Care Network Manager, and Michelle McWeeney, Local area co-ordinator for Syston and volunteers helped to set the room with the tables with beautiful table clothes, China tea cups and plates which made it very welcoming. Every table was full and there was lots of chatter.
Raj gave a short speech to open the cafe and explaining how the cafe had come about and that it will be open each week between 1.30pm and 4.30pm, £3 per person includes unlimited tea and coffee. Attendees can participate in monthly events and activities to enrich the mind and spirit.
He thanked Tracy Piper and Michelle McWeeney for their tireless efforts and collaboration behind the scenes saying they have been the cornerstone of this dementia-friendly cafe and said it was their passions and commitment that has helped to make this a reality.
Afternoon tea was served and they had some music too. This was a lovely afternoon and we hope the new Timeless Connexions cafe continues to support everyone touched by dementia in a friendly and supportive way.
