Mental Health Matters Wales: Community Connections at Our Dementia Nolton Street Hub

We had a wonderful session this morning (Monday the 7th October 2024) at our Nolton Street Hub with our Coffee Morning group!

Awen Library joined us for a fascinating reminiscence talk, sharing photographs that sparked lively conversations about how shopping has evolved over the years. We also enjoyed discussions about farming and the different foods we grew and ate during the war, highlighting the rich tapestry of our shared history.

Join Us for Coffee Mornings

Every Monday from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, the Bridgend Dementia Hub opens its doors for a Coffee Morning at 63 Nolton Street.

This informal gathering is a wonderful opportunity for individuals and their caregivers to come together, share experiences, and enjoy a comforting cup of coffee in a friendly environment.
