Memory Café Court Bushes Community Hub

We were so pleased that a joint project between the Parish Council, Sussex Vale Rotary Club and the local AgeUK led to the first of the reinstated monthly memory cafes taking place on 3rd September 2024. These are aimed at people who are experiencing memory loss whether they have a diagnosis or not and their families/partners/carers. These get togethers are informal and fun as well as providing support and advice.
We know there are many of you in our villages living with memory loss and that you and your loved ones often feel lonely and cut off from the rest of the community. Please come along to your local Memory Cafes where you will receive a warm welcome. These take place at Court Bushes Community Hub, Hurstpierpoint, BN6 9TH on the 1st Tuesday of the month and at Adastra Hall, Hassocks, BN6 8AG on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. To find out more please call 01444 450248, email midsussex@ageukwsbh.org.uk or ask in the Parish Office.
