Clubs
Our social clubs consist of Weekend Day Care and a Thursday Group for more active people with dementia.
Socialise in a safe environment
The clubs provide people with dementia a chance to socialise in a safe environment and offer respite for their carers. During the clubs carers get a break from caring and can spend the time doing whatever they would like to do.

Thursday Group Social Club
We run once a week daycare for more active people with dementia at the Hobbayne Centre. Sessions include:
- Activities which everyone can join in including exercise classes
- Day centre support for those at an earlier stage of dementia
- Social contact and lunch/refreshments for everyone attending
- Trips to local places of interest, such as Kew Gardens, Richmond Park and the Brand Museum
Recently as lockdown restrictions have eased we have been able to resume meetings with some of our Thursday Group to go on socially distanced Nature walks in smaller groups than usual. For an example of one of such meetings read more here.
Weekend Social Club
This is a day-care service for people diagnosed with dementia, based at Elm Lodge and Sycamore Lodge centres. This is a paid service.
We provide:
- a wide range of social and therapeutic activities to help maintain existing skills and develop new ones
- a lunchtime meal meeting
- a safe and welcoming environment in which people living with dementia can meet
- transport to and from the centres if needed (pick up from 10.00am and drop off by 4.30pm)
