Past Times Dementia-friendly Community
What happens at Past Times?
At the moment, we meet twice a month in the church. Our main Past Times meeting is held on the second Wednesday of every month. We have tea, coffee and cake, and we chat and sing along to music provided by entertainers. Our visitors tell us it gives them something to look forward to every month and we aim to have everyone leave much happier than when they arrive! This event is very popular and so unfortunately, we have a waiting list. Please contact past-times@stonelawchurch.org to be added to the list.
Our Drop-in Memory Café is held on the fourth Wednesday of the month and does not have a waiting list. Here is all you need to know:
Who is it for? It’s for anyone worried about their memory and people living with dementia and their carers.
What happens? Just pop in for a free cuppa and a blether. And if you have a problem, ask our experts for advice and guidance.
Where is it? At Stonelaw Church, 2 Dryburgh Avenue, Rutherglen. (Enter on Stonelaw Road, just across from the Health Centre.)
When is it on? The fourth Wednesday of every month, from 2.30 – 4pm.
Professional help and advice
At both meetings you will also have access to professional help and advice. A Support Worker from Alzheimer Scotland and also a Community Psychiatric Nurse / Support Worker from Eastvale at Rutherglen Health Centre will be there. Maybe you, or a loved one, are dealing with memory issues or maybe you have already received a diagnosis of dementia. No matter which, if you have a problem, please come along. Or if you would just like some company and the chance to meet others in the same situation, you will be very welcome.
Please contact past-times@stonelawchurch.org for more information.
