St Barnabas Memory Café

Every Thursday, 10.30am to 12pm in the Church

Since its reopening in September 2021, The Memory Café meets every Thursday morning from 10.30-12 in the church.

There is a warm welcome to everyone, especially those who are lonely or live alone and those who are having memory difficulties. Carers are invited to stay
with the person they are looking after and enjoy meeting other carers. We are delighted that a large group from our local residential home for those with
dementia also come regularly.

We have a lively band of volunteers who prepare coffee, tea and homemade cake for our guests and spend time chatting with them. There are a variety of
activities each week including quizzes, art classes, keep fit, community singing and listening to music on the piano. We have also enjoyed dramas put on by
the local Questors theatre. Occasionally we watch events on the ‘big screen’ such as Trooping the Colour and the late Queen’s funeral.

Ealing Council has supported our outreach into the community with a ‘Warm Spaces grant’ and we are grateful for other charitable donations. The café is attended regularly and we serve around 35 guests a week and always welcome any newcomers who drop in. The E2 and E9 buses stop outside. If driving, there is street parking.
