💬 Reminiscence Session: Memories & Conversation
Supporting Loneliness Week

Friday 19th June 10-12

Join us for a relaxed and friendly reminiscence session, created especially for Loneliness Week—a chance to connect, share memories, and enjoy good company.
We’ll have a selection of props from the past, including everyday objects, photographs and items that may spark memories and stories. Whether you’d like to chat, listen, or simply take a look, you’re very welcome to come along.
✨ What to expect:

A welcoming, informal space to meet others
A variety of nostalgic items and artefacts to explore
Opportunities to share memories and stories
Tea, conversation and companionship

This session is perfect for anyone who enjoys reminiscing, meeting new people, or simply spending time in a friendly, supportive environment.
