Last week at our lovely Chatty Café group in Eccleston, we had such a joyful afternoon filled with music, laughter, and great company! 🎶✨

We were treated to a fantastic singalong led by the brilliant Ukes3A, and it was wonderful to hear everyone joining in to some much-loved classics like Eight Days a Week, The Wild Rover, and Bring Me Sunshine. There’s nothing quite like a room full of happy voices to lift the spirits!

Alongside the music, we enjoyed our usual quiz (a big congratulations to Norman and Laura for scoring full marks and taking the win this week – amazing job!), plenty of friendly chatter, and of course, lots of brews to keep us going.

If you’d like to find out more about our Chatty Café gatherings or come along and join in the fun, we’d love to hear from you!

📢 Liverpool Dementia Action Alliance is holding a Young Onset Dementia Awareness Day at Liverpool Central Library on Thursday 7 May from 10am until 4pm.

✅ The event aims to raise awareness of the condition and challenge public assumptions that it only affects older people.

🗨️ The event will include talks on young-onset dementia and how the experience differs from having the condition in older age as well as Information stalls from local organisations offering advice and support. There will also be conversations encouraged with younger people with dementia and their carers about how it has affected their lives. People will have the chance to become a ‘Dementia Friend’ and take their own step towards helping to raise awareness.
