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

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

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