Today’s session was full of energy, and festive cheer! We started with a dance group, getting everyone moving to music, encouraging coordination, confidence, and lots of laughter. It was wonderful to see people expressing themselves through movement and enjoying the shared rhythm together!

We then finished the session with a Christmas quiz, sparking memories, conversations, and a bit of friendly competition! From festive traditions to classic Christmas tunes, it was lovely to see everyone getting involved and supporting one another.

Winter can be a hard time, can’t it?
Short days, cold weather, less motivation to get out… we all feel it 💙

That’s exactly why our Memory and Wellbeing Café exists - a warm, welcoming space to connect, chat, move a little, and take part in meaningful activities at your own pace.

At our last session we spent time:
✨ chatting and connecting
✨ reflecting on hobbies and interests that matter to us
✨ getting creative with Christmas card making
✨ supporting one another just by being together

You don’t have to do everything - coming along for a cuppa and a chat is just as important.

The group is run by two Occupational Therapists, with a focus on:
• supporting memory and wellbeing
• reducing loneliness and isolation
• building confidence and routine
• helping you stay connected to activities that feel meaningful to you

🌟 Next session at Age connects Cafe Barry:
📅 Wednesday 7th January
⏰ 10:30 – 12:00

We’re also excited to have Rubicon Dance joining us for the session, bringing gentle movement and something a little different to start the new year.

If winter feels long, quiet, or lonely — you’re not on your own.
We’d love to see you back, or welcome you for the first time 💙

Message us if you’d like more information.

Game of Boccia at Youldon House

We had a brilliant session at Youldon House today, enjoying a game of boccia with a few different variations to keep things interesting!

There was lots of fun, laughter, and just a touch of friendly competition thrown in. The session was fully seated, which meant everyone could take part comfortably, and engagement was fantastic throughout.

It was lovely to see everyone getting involved, supporting each other, and enjoying the moment together 💙

Another great example of how simple, inclusive activities can bring people together and boost well-being.

Lovely creative session today at Golau Caredig ✨

Residents got stuck into designing and making their own cards, choosing colours, writing messages, and decorating with lots of glue and sparkle! Activities like this help to support fine motor skills, creativity, and confidence.

We left a little pack behind for someone who joined us right at the end so they could enjoy making theirs later too 💛

Always a pleasure spending time with this group!
