Memory Café Meeting Centre Volunteers (Dunblane Development Trust)

Dementia Friendly Dunblane is a formal working group of Dunblane Development Trust. A steering group including individuals with the lived experience of dementia and their care partners work with businesses, schools & churches to raise awareness of dementia in the community.

We aim to support individuals with dementia and their care partners to live a fulfilled life in a supported community and to eradicate the stigma associated with dementia.

Volunteers are required to assist at the Braeport Memory Café Meeting Centre sessions. These supports individuals with dementia and their family carer to enjoy fun and stimulating activities in a supported environment. Volunteers can attend either of two weekly Meeting Centres at the Braeport Centre: Wednesdays from 1 to 4 pm and Fridays from 11 to 3 pm where lunch is provided.
