The Memory Café at St Barnabas

Our Memory Café has met every Thursday morning since it reopened in September 2021 — 10.30am to 12pm in the church. We welcome anyone experiencing loneliness, living alone, or living with memory difficulties — and carers are very welcome to come along too. A local residential dementia home sends regular participants, and we typically gather around thirty-five guests each week.

Our volunteers prepare refreshments and help everyone feel at home. Activities vary from week to week — quizzes, art, gentle fitness, community singing, piano music, and occasional theatre performances by the Questors — and we screen special events together, too.

Coming along

  • When: Thursdays, 10.30am–12pm, in the church.
  • Contact: Mother Valerie Aitken, 07968 345992.
  • Getting here: the E2 and E9 buses stop nearby, and there is street parking.

The Memory Café is supported by Ealing Council’s ‘Warm Spaces’ grant and by charitable donations.
