Seaton LoF Memory Cafe

WELCOME
You will receive a warm welcome from the LOF Memory Café team as you enter the building. Our volunteers will escort you to the hall and invite you to sit at a table with other people living with dementia. The purpose of the Memory Café is to provide a couple of hours of social stimulation for people with a dementia diagnosis and support for their family member or carer. We have fun! We chat over tea and cake with people in similar situations. We have a program of fun activities or entertainments in which you are encouraged to take part. These could be table games, quizzes, target games, arts & crafts, guest speakers and visiting musical entertainment. All activities are designed to stimulate, motivate, reminisce, entertain and most importantly to enjoy ourselves!

The Filo Project

The Filo Project is a not-for-profit social enterprise based in the South West. We work in partnership with Devon, Torbay, Cornwall and Somerset Councils and are on their commissioning framework to provide day care support for older people throughout Devon, Cornwall and Somerset.

We offer high-quality day care for small groups of older people in the intimate setting of a Filo Host’s own home. Our focus of support is for people who are experiencing symptoms associated with early to moderate dementia, whether diagnosed or not, and people who may be socially isolated. We do also have many clients with Parkinson’s (with or without dementia), stroke, sensory loss and very often a combination of the above.

We provide meaningful days out between the hours of 10am and 4pm on a weekly basis. Lunch and transport are provided which means we can support even the most rurally located. This time frame also creates significant and regular replacement care for a spouse or family member. Within the supportive environment of the Filo Project, we see clients gain confidence and become revitalised in the process with an improved sense of wellbeing. At a stage of life where many older people find themselves often excluded, The Filo Project provides a time and space where clients can engage in valued and valuable social roles and connectedness. Friends are made, laughter exchanged and experiences shared.
