The Link has been providing support for people living with dementia and their carers since March 2017
We were closed from March 2020 to April 2022 and are now up and running again.
We meet on the first and third Tuesdays of the month at Mattishall Methodist Church between 10 and 12.
The café style of The Link provides a social environment with trained volunteers who spend time with and join in activities with those living with dementia.
Reminiscence games and activities are used to improve mood, social well-being and to stimulate mental activity.
We also play games like skittles, darts and dominoes which provide fun as well as aim to improve mental and physical well-being.

We have music and singing, which increases happiness and relaxation.
We enjoy some gentle seated exercises to music to improve coordination.

The Carer’s Group meets for just over an hour in a separate room, providing mutual support.
We may have professional external speakers such as Alzheimer’s Society Support Workers, Admiral Nurses and Carers Matter Support workers.
The support group provides the carers with a break, while their loved ones enjoy activities in a safe environment with the volunteers.
