Lighthouse Dementia Carers Group

Dementia Carer’s Support.

The Lighthouse Carers Group is an independent group  set up over 10 years ago to give carers of people with dementia a break. At the time there was nothing that gave the carers ‘time off’.

This independent and informal group is run by a skilled leader assisted by a team of volunteers who entertain the
people with dementia for two hours while their carers sit in a separate cafe area. The carers support each other and can talk in confidence to the leader and sometimes visiting professionals.

The carers form a strong bond and friendships with each other. The people they care for play skittles, games, puzzles and are sometimes entertained by visiting musicians and entertainers. The group is free and runs every fourth Tuesday of the month  from 10.30-12.30.
