Dementia support Activeretired activities

Wicklow Dementia Support usually holds a number of events in the Greystones area, which are cancelled for the moment.

‘Musical memories’ takes place each Friday morning at St Patrick’s Church Hall from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

There are often visiting musicians and there’s usually a turnout of around 30 people, including people with dementia, their family carers and volunteers.

A family carers support group meets on the third Friday of each month, also at St Patrick’s, from 11.30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

This is a facilitator-led, peerto-peer support group.
