Memory Tree @ Burley
Important coronavirus update: we have now reopened the twice monthly Memory Tree group meetings and it's great to see everyone again! We look forward to eventually returning to our 2 hour format, with time together and time apart, and lots of activities. For now, though, we are meeting all together for social and emotional support, with a limited range of activities and regrettably no separate session for carers.
Due to continuing concerns about coronavirus and precautionary advice, the numbers per session are limited, to enable social distancing. If you would like to attend one of the sessions, please contact Susan Collins on 01943 864424 or by email to dementiafriendlyburley@gmail.com.
You can find out more about other local support activities during this time by visiting Burley Dementia Friends on Facebook.
The Memory Tree group was launched on the 18th May 2017 and runs on the 1st and 3rd Thursday afternoons each month at 2pm in the Parish Centre. It is for people with dementia and another person, probably a family member. The two-hour session includes time together and time apart with lots of activities. Please get in touch for more information if you are interested in attending or volunteering.
The flyer is shown right. If you would like more information, please email dementiafriendlyburley@gmail.com or call Susan Collins.
Referral guidelines for professionals are in the Resources section.
We are pleased to work in partnership with many local referrers, especially Cohens the pharmacy and Grange Park Surgery. The doctors' practice has put together a dementia action plan which can be read here.
We were pleased to celebrate our second birthday in May 2019 with a suitable cake! We've not been able to do it since, due to the pandemic, but hopefully we will be able to do this again soon.
