Every month, we welcome people living with dementia and their friends/support givers/relatives to the historic Abbey Strand Centre for a fun afternoon with refreshments, an interactive short talk, and craft activity.

There is a different theme each month and sessions are run by our Communities and Access Lead, and Dementia Friend, Fiona Johnston.

Join us for a chance to relax, enjoy time together and learn something new about Scottish Royal history!
