There is to be a new care & wellbeing group for people living with memory problems, and their carers, in Charlbury.

Called Charlbury SMILE and run by myself and Rhonda Riachi, a researcher from Oxford Brookes, with support from Age UK, we are running four pilot sessions starting on Friday 22nd June at The Friends House at 10.30.

Each two hour session will include welcome time, seated exercise to music followed by enjoyable activities such as music, poetry, dance, arts & crafts and of course refreshments. We will be offering sharing time, support and information to carers.

There may well be people in the town who are isolated, living with anxiety or memory problems or who have a diagnosis of dementia, and this group could be very enjoyable for them, as well as helpful for their carers.

If you know of anyone who might benefit from this group, they, or their carer, need to ring Rhonda, on 07533 248659 to have a chat and to book onto the sessions.

We want to reach as many people as possible in our community who may benefit from this group so please do forward this information.
