💚 Sharing smiles, stories and song at our Memory Cafés
At Home Instead Epping, we’re proud to support Memory Cafés across Buckhurst Hill, Chigwell and Loughton, offering older adults and their families a friendly space to meet others, enjoy activities and make new friends.
These regular groups are part of our What’s On Where newsletter, giving people something to look forward to each week and helping to support both mental and physical wellbeing.
Our Memory Lane and Singing for the Brain sessions have grown in popularity over the years, now bringing together clients and members of the community for fun quizzes, live music and plenty of laughter. A big thank you to our talented Kevin, whose singing and guitar always get everyone up to dance and join in.
We’re also grateful to everyone who joins us and makes these events so special, including Clive, one of our clients from the Loughton Memory Café, pictured here enjoying the activities.
We are often joined by special guests too, including therapy dog Baloo, benefits adviser Jina, Essex Police offering scam awareness advice, the local Rock Choir, and guest entertainers.
At our most recent Singing for the Brain session, a daughter told us how her mother’s mood always improves after attending, a lovely reminder of how meaningful these gatherings are.
Our October Memory Lane event had a Halloween theme, and we’d like to say a big thank you to Stylex Party Harlow for providing the props.
🎶 Everyone is welcome to join us for our next sessions this November.
All events are free to attend and include refreshments.
