New Sunflower Café comes to Godalming
Published: 24/02/2025
A new café for people with dementia and their carers has opened in Godalming.
The Sunflower Café is co-hosted by local home care provider Right at Home GF and Care UK. It takes place at the Godalming Baptist Church in Queen Street.
Liz Young, from Right at Home GF says: “We now have seven Sunflower Cafes in the area which provide a safe and welcoming environment for people with dementia.
“Anybody who comes along can expect to enjoy a lovely cuppa, biscuits and some great company in an informal setting. As well as offering social opportunities for people with dementia, the cafes provide opportunities for carers to share experiences, tips and advice with others in a similar situation.”
Rosemary regularly attends a nearby Sunflower Café and says: "The community groups are casual, and you can do as you wish. There are many people like my husband, Rob, and you can understand everything. We do lots of socialising and love making new friends. We always make a special effort, especially for the Singing for the Mind group In Farnham."
Godalming’s next Sunflower Café is on 13 March followed by 17 April. See www.rightathome.co.uk/guildford-and-farnham/ for more information.
