Creative Cuppa

A creative wellbeing session for people living with dementia and those experiencing loneliness.

Creative Cuppa is our series of creative wellbeing sessions for people living with dementia (+ their carers) and those experiencing loneliness, hosted by lovely Creative Facilitator Jenn Bell.

Sessions are fun and gentle, to include storytelling, poetry, music and imagination. Come for a cuppa, a chat and an opportunity to meet new people and exercise your creativity in ways that will help you feel wonderful.

Sessions are on the last Thursday of the month from 1:30-3pm. You don’t have to attend every session to take part. Places are FREE with refreshments (cake!) but limited due to space. Please get in touch if you’d like to book.

I live alone and have recently moved to Appleby where I don’t know many people. I have also suffered declining health and have become increasingly housebound. Creative Cuppa gets me out socialising and involved in creative activities. Good conversation and singing a real boost!

What a wonderful group! Lovely bunch of folk, keeps mum engaged as her dementia worsens, singing really helps to stimulate and tea and cake is the best. Thank you.
