Successful launch of the Companionship Café The first Home Instead Companionship Café held in The Bothy at Dean’s Garden Centre proved a big hit! Thank you to everyone who attended, it was lovely to meet with you all. The aim of the Café is to encourage older people to get out and socialise, make new friends and get involved with fun activities. We are delighted to get involved and work alongside the team at The Bothy in Dean’s Garden Centre. Everyone who attends will be greeted by our friendly Home Instead staff and CAREGivers and made to feel welcome. It’s a lovely environment and a great place to make new friends! We feel it is important to create an environment where people have a regular meeting place they can visit for companionship as loneliness can be very difficult for the elderly. Simply having a chat over a cuppa can make all the difference and enrich a life! Come along to the next meeting on Monday 14th
October – a couple of attendees from our first meeting are keen artists and have very kindly offered to show some of their art work to the rest of the group. Why not play dominoes and cards, or just have a cuppa and a chat. The choice is yours! The meeting is very informal and there is no cost apart from the refreshments you would like to purchase. Everyone who attends will be given a raffle ticket for a chance to win a drink and a cake of their choice. The next meeting dates are: Monday 14th October, Monday 11th November and Monday 9th December. Meeting time is 10.00am to 11.30am The Bothy, Dean’s Garden Centre, Stockton Lane, Stockton-on-the-Forest, York YO32 9UE. It would be lovely to see some new faces!
