Sunflower Cafe

The Sunflower Café is a beloved community group held at the Memorial Hall in Farnham, known for its safe and welcoming environment for all - especially those living with dementia and their caregivers.

The café offers a space for socialising, helping to reduce isolation, while also providing valuable information and resources to better understand dementia. Through engaging activities, it aims to improve quality of life, enhance cognitive function, and encourage stimulation. By fostering a strong sense of community, the café creates a supportive network for individuals and families navigating dementia.

Each week features different interactive sessions, including Bingo (a favourite), World Wheel, and seasonal activities like mosaic making or Valentine’s Day card crafting!

Love to Move

Love to Move is our engaging armchair exercise group, led by our wonderful carer Jo! Armchair exercises offer numerous benefits for the older generation, including:

✅ Improving cardiovascular health and boosting blood flow to the brain, which may help prevent cognitive decline.
✅ Enhancing flexibility and range of motion, promoting joint health and reducing the risk of falls.
✅ Maintaining muscle mass and strength, supporting overall physical function and independence.

Beyond the physical benefits, seated exercises provide a fun and social way to stay active, improving mood, overall well-being, and quality of life!

Singing For The Mind

Singing For The Mind

Music groups offer numerous benefits for those living with dementia, as these sessions help enhance cognitive function and evoke special memories connected to the music - transporting individuals back to meaningful moments in their lives. Music not only improves mood for those with dementia but for everyone, reducing anxiety and fostering a sense of connection and engagement.

Studies have shown that music can access different parts of the brain than language, allowing people with dementia to remember songs and lyrics even when they struggle with other forms of communication. This can lead to improved memory recall and a greater sense of self-esteem and accomplishment.
