Café Neuro
Find comfort among friends
Support for carers and those they care for. Cafe Neuro is a warm, welcoming space for those living with neuro challenges like dementia, memory loss, Parkinson’s, stroke recovery, and their carers.
Our passionate and experienced team are here to provide peer support, offer advice, signpost services, assist with forms, and help navigate health challenges. Each week, we offer a different activity or craft to enjoy, plus tea, coffee, and pastries, all for free! We look forward to welcoming you and supporting you week by week
About Café Neuro
-
Living with dementia, Parkinson's, stroke, memory loss or other neurological conditions can be isolating for both those affected and the people who care for them. Carers often experience exhaustion, loneliness and a lack of practical and emotional support.
-
Café Neuro is a welcoming community café where people living with neurological conditions and their carers come together for friendship, encouragement, practical support and a sense of belonging.
-
To reduce loneliness, support carers, improve wellbeing, build friendships, provide practical information and create a safe community where nobody has to face their journey alone.
-
People living with dementia, Parkinson's, stroke, memory loss or other neurological conditions, together with their partners, family members, friends and unpaid carers.
-
A relaxed weekly café offering refreshments, conversation, activities, guest speakers, information, signposting and opportunities to connect with others who understand similar experiences. Both carers and those they support attend together in an informal and welcoming environment.
-
Participants develop meaningful friendships, feel less isolated and gain confidence through shared experiences. Carers receive encouragement, practical advice and emotional support, while those living with neurological conditions enjoy social interaction, purposeful activities and a greater sense of wellbeing. Many leave knowing they have a community they can rely on and somewhere they truly belong.
“It’s such a relief to be somewhere I don’t have to explain myself — people just get it.”
