WHERE:   BRIDGES CENTRE, EDENBRIDGE

  WHEN:    FIRST WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH 

   WHAT:   The Dandelion Café provides a monthly opportunity for older adults to enjoy socialising                               in a nurturing, creative environment​

​

PROJECT ASPIRATIONS

Applying a person-centred approach to supporting older people in a creative and social environment while enlivening 'consciousness in community’. 

Older adults of all abilities are welcome and no previous artistic experience is necessary.

​

PRACTICALITIES

The Café endeavours to be as inclusive as possible, however please be aware that we are not a respite centre. We support individuals to the best of our ability, but may need to call upon a friend, family member or carer during the session for any personal assistance to ensure respect and dignity is preserved.

 

Family, friends and carers: you can be as involved as much or as little as you choose during the session, depending on the level of support required.​ 

 

There is a seating area adjacent to where the activity takes place for you to be close enough to provide support if the need arises, but also to take the opportunity to have a cuppa, relax and perhaps meet other friends/family carers. Or, you may want to join in with activities on offer, the choice is yours.
