Activity Club
Join us, have fun and meet new friends
Our thriving Activity Club is guided by Ali and supported by a dedicated team of volunteers. This club is designed for adults to build friendships and offer companionship in a welcoming environment. It’s fun!
The Activity Club provides a diverse range of activities, including exercise, craft, painting, gardening, and skill-building opportunities. Ali and our volunteers go a step further by encouraging participants to create their own support networks beyond the club.
Our Activity Club isn’t just about activities, it’s about new experiences, learning, lively conversations, forming new friendships, savouring homemade meals at lunchtime, and sharing laughter. We also have guest speakers and musicians who regularly entertain. As one delighted participant puts it, “I just can’t thank everyone enough for their help, company, for everything. Thank you very much!”
(Members should be independently mobile, with or without walking aids as regrettably we cannot provide 1-1 care.)

Thursday 10:00 - 14:00hrs

Memory Café
What is a Memory Café?
Our memory cafes are a relaxed, social space for those who have memory loss or are concerned about memory loss, and their carers. They are run by our team of trained volunteers who create a warm, welcoming environment and are available to offer support and advice.
What can I expect at a Memory Café?
Memory cafes offer a range of activities, and these will vary depending on the preferences of those attending. However, the focus of most activities at a memory cafe will be to encourage reminiscing. This could include music, poetry, photos and quizzes, as well as games and arts and crafts. Sometimes guest speakers may be invited to share their knowledge on topics relevant to people attending the cafe.
Refreshments such as tea, coffee and biscuits are provided.
Do I need to book a place?
Our memory is run by Budleigh GP Surgery nurse Joanne Keeler with the support of Budleigh Salterton Ladies Choir. It is very popular and we need to assess clients before attending. Please give us a call first.
