Bantry Memory Café
Bantry Memory Café is launching its first Memory Café on Wednesday 1st of February from 11am to 1pm in the library in The Maritime Hotel Bantry, West Cork, Ireland.
The café provides a warm welcoming and relaxed place to meet others also living with dementia, their family and friends as well as health and social care professionals. There will be free tea and coffee, some useful information, and an opportunity to meet and chat with others.
For further information and bookings, contact Juliette O Donoghue at 087 9103036 or bantrymemorycafe@gmail.com.
Inspired by Kinsale and Tralee, where progress in this area has been made, an information meeting took place last May organised by Bantry Age Friendly in association with the Alzheimer Society of Ireland and HSE/Cork Kerry Community Healthcare.
Since then a dementia sub-group has been set up comprising Winnie O’Sullivan and Ger Reaney, Bantry Age Friendly; Vanessa Bradbury, dementia advisor with the Alzheimer Society; Evie Finlay, community worker Cork Kerry Community Healthcare; Ber O’Riordan, Ann Harrington, PJ Cooke, Mary Bohane, dementia specialist Bantry General Hospital; Sinead O’Reilly, national dementia office and Kathryn Kingston, West Cork Development Partnership.
