The Dementia & Friendship Cafe
Orpington Village Hall is proud to be a member of the Bromley Dementia Action Alliance and an active part of the Bromley Dementia Friendly Community. We received the 2019 “Orpies” award for the Most Dementia Friendly Organisation in Orpington, and this has only been the start to our projects and ideas for the future.
As it is now the case that one in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia later in life, it is critical that organisations, and communities, are better prepared to support their members in living with the condition and ensuring they have the best quality of life possible. Orpington Village Hall is dedicated to providing a facility that is inclusive and accessible to all, as well as working on projects to benefit and support those living with Dementia and their families.
Our Cafes have been incorporated into a Friendship Cafe format, allowing for more people to attend to support each other and connect, not just those living with Dementia. Our Friendship Cafes are dementia friendly and guests are welcome to attend with family, friends and carers. Join in with our activities and celebrations every month with new friends and familiar faces.
