Memory cafe for ethnic minority dementia sufferers

A memory cafe has been set up by the Alzheimer’s Society for people from ethnic minorities in Cardiff suffering from dementia.

THE MEMORY cafe in the Butetown History and Arts Centre aims to provide a safe and relaxed environment where people who are affected by dementia can socialise and share their experiences.

The cafe has been set up in conjunction with Diverse Cymru and focuses on the area’s ethnic minority communities who lack awareness about dementia and dementia support.
