A SECOND Bradford district dementia group is to start tomorrow.
Shipley Memories Group was founded by PCSO Ben Verdeyen back in 2022 and has been a great success - running every Monday between 11am and 1pm at Shipley Bowling Club.
So much so, that he has launched another group for the Idle and Thackley areas of the district.
The groups are aimed at people living with dementia, loneliness and/or low mood.
Depression is a common side effect of the condition, often caused by social isolation, medication, lack of sleep and more.
The new memories cafe will run every Thursday at the Hepworth and Idle cricket club between 12-2pm.
It will feature games, raffles, entertainment, refreshments, and sing along karaoke.
