Supporting families living with dementia in the Sid Valley
About the Memory Café
Sid Valley Memory Café is a friendly, social meeting place for people with all forms of memory problems and their families and friends. We meet every Wednesday at Twyford House in Sidmouth and can assure you of a high quality experience.
Events
Alongside our weekly activities, we are constantly looking for ways to build a better social life for people with dementia, their carers and families.
Our trustees
Memory Cafe trustees are elected to serve for a three year period which can be extended for a further three. There may be up to 12 trustees, but usually they number six to eight.
Reminisce
Uncover a treasure trove of local memories, stories, personal histories, poignant photographs and snippets of local history that have never been shared before.
Latest news
We aim to keep you up to date with what we’ve been doing and to keep you informed of new developments in living with dementia.
Contact Us
We aim to make reaching us as straightforward as possible and welcome your getting in touch.
“Caring for a loved one with dementia is such a whirlwind of emotion.”
