Isle of Wight Friendship Club The Alzheimer’s Society in conjunction with Barchester Healthcare are starting a new Friendship Club for people with dementia and their carers. Starting 15th February 2012. The club will run every 3rd Wednesday of the month from 10.30 to 12.30 and is open to anyone with a diagnosis of dementia and their carer. The group provides personalised social activities, in a relaxed and safe environment. This improves social functioning and allows for greater independence, thus enabling people to take a greater responsibility for their own well being and to meet regularly with others in the same position. Many carers can become socially isolated because of the nature of the disease, and have very limited opportunities to join social groups or meet others. The club will help carers to maintain social connections and mitigate against depression and loss of self esteem. These groups are free and no referral is needed, ring our local office 02392 892035, or email [email protected] for more information, or simply come along to the next session. Contact details: Carol Elliott, Support Services Manager, Portsmouth, S.E. Hants and Isle of Wight, John Pounds Centre, 23 Queens Street, Portsea, Portsmouth, PO1 3HN.
