Staying connected with your local community and spending time with others, including making new friends in the community, can be a really uplifting experience.
Four great ways to stay more connected in 2023:
- Social clubs can provide a sense of community and support, and are great for those looking to connect with new friends, catch up with old friends and share new experiences by participating in games and social activities. Your local social club is safe and supportive environment for everyone including those living with dementia. Find out more about social clubs in your area: Join a Social Club
