Memory Cafes, also known as dementia cafes, provide safe spaces where people can go for a cup of tea and chat with experienced professionals or others affected by dementia. There are also games, quizzes and craft sessions which those attending can take part in along with outside speakers who are invited to give talks.

Garstang Memory Café (GMC) contributes to the health and wellbeing of vulnerable people living with dementia and the carers of those people in Garstang and the surrounding areas.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

High value is put by the carers on the support being offered and the opportunity to network with others

Membership numbers attending the Memory Café have grown rapidly in this post covid era and by the Summer of 2023, we have had up to and sometimes over 35 regular members attending our Café sessions which we run on two half days a month.

The GMC Board of Trustees meet at a minimum of 3 times per year, at which the charity’s activities are reviewed. alongside planned spending and anticipated income.

All of our trustees are regular helpers at memory café sessions and offer further support in a variety of ways.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

The work of GMC is supported through the commitment and hard work of a growing number of dedicated volunteers and trustees.

The GMC continues to provide a place to meet for members living with dementia. It also gives some respite for their carers and families and at every meeting there are refreshments for everyone.

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

Varied activities are provided at each session ranging from Crafts, bingo, quizzes, memory games and singalongs etc. We also invite outside speakers and entertainment for each session. On other occasions we have run afternoon teas and other celebrations at the café

• policy on grantmaking;

• policy programme related investment;

• contribution made by volunteers.

We have arranged days out including a regular canal barge trip and a Christmas meal.

Our big project has been to set up a memory garden on a piece of land opposite where the café meets. This is now well established and a local gardener, with experience of similar community projects, is helping with the maintenance. The Garden was awarded an RHS North West in Bloom ‘its your neighbourhood’ outstanding Level 5 Award.

Section D

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Achievements and performance

By our regular articles in the local free booklet which is delivered to all households in and around Garstang, we have kept and continue to keep in touch with our community

There are also strong links with our local medical practice and town council and many local businesses or groups.

In 2022-23 the café has run a full programme of regular sessions and with the growing numbers of members (around 35 -40 at the time of writing), There is a clear increasing need for dementia support, we continue to explore ways to expand our provision and to identify the most beneficial activities to provide.

We make full use of social media using Facebook as we feel that this is a good way of getting our messages across but more importantly encourages careers and families to come along to our sessions.

Our website is continually updated and enables use to promote the memory cafe

Our Annual General Meeting was held on 15[th] May 2024 during one of our regular café sessions with 6 of the trustees and 27 members of the public attending. There was wide satisfaction with both the organisation and the performance of the memory café. Useful suggestions were made on possible additional activities and trips to be included in any future programme.

We were delighted to receive the community team award from our local town council and this reflects the high regard placed on our work.

Partnerships with local organisations and firms have grown with several adopting us as their local charity for fund raising activities.
