Friends Together Café at All Saints

Our dementia friendly café where everyone is welcome!

Come along to our warm, welcoming Cafe, OPEN TO EVERYONE, and offering FREE hot drinks and delicious home-made cakes.  It's a warm, welcoming space, providing friendship and support, and we particularly welcome those with dementia, their friends, family and carers.

 

Our next Friends Together Cafe will be on...

 

Thursday 6th February 2025, 10am-12pm

This month we welcome Stacey, Walk Leader of the Carers Support Centre 'Walk and Talk' initiative.  Stacey works with many carers supporting people with dementia, and she'll be joining us to find out a little more about Friends Together, chat to attendees and help signpost carers for support.  

Walk and Talk sessions have previously been offered just for carers, as an opportunity to improve health and well-being by enjoying a walk in the company of other carers, and led by a knowledgeable and supportive Walk Leader.  

However, at our February Cafe, Stacey will be telling us about a taster Walk and Talk session coming up on 12th February for carers and those they care for, prior to their first regular Carers and Dependants group session taking place in Bradley Stoke and running 11am-12.30pm every Wednesday from 5th March to 9th April. 

If there's enough interest amongst Friends Together Cafe attendees, then their may be an opportunity to work together in the future to provide a similar group session near to us!

For more information on the 'Walk and Talk' initiative, and details of all walks coming up, take a look at their website here for more details.

 

WHERE - the bright and spacious Randall Room on the 1st floor of church (lift access) WHEN - the first Thursday of every month (see the flyer below for contact info & all dates to end of 2025) EVERYONE IS WELCOME to come along, for conversation, support, information and friendship PLUS FREE REFRESHMENTS - including delicious home-made cakes and savoury snacks!   WE'RE VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU!

About Friends Together......

The All Saints dementia friendly café, Friends Together, is just one example of the many volunteer-led dementia support initiatives in Bristol.  The Café – originally called Friends on Friday – launched in May 2017 to coincide with that year’s Dementia Awareness Week.

Following a break during the Covid Pandemic, the Café was relaunched as Friends Together -  now on the first Thursday of every month from 10am-12pm - and six years’ on, it’s going from strength to strength. The Café is totally free, and whilst aimed at those living with dementia, their friends, family and carers, it’s essentially open to everyone and anyone, and provides activities, information, conversation, and friendship, along with tea/coffee and delicious home-made cakes!
