Welcome to
Connect For Life
Meet others and build connections
We are committed to providing a service which is welcoming, caring and stimulating, with the aim of increasing people’s self-esteem and sense of wellbeing. We will provide activities to stimulate the brain, opportunities for people to try new skills and offer carers a few hours of respite
Who we are
Connect For Life is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation located in the heart of Oswestry, Shropshire providing support for older people, particularly those with memory loss or dementia where they can "meet others and build connections", enjoy stimulating activities, in a safe, welcoming, caring environment.
Our sessions run in accordance with Christian principles, promoting mutual respect, acceptance and valuing individual contributions.
Currently our sessions are run every
Wednesday & Thursday: 10.30 - 2.30
OUR NEW SESSION COMING SOON
A new fortnightly group starting in July with plenty of opportunities for keeping active and cognitive stimulation activities in a relaxed, supportive, friendly atmosphere and wonderful surroundings:
• Are you concerned about your memory, maybe this affects your confidence to socialise?
• Are you living with or caring for someone who is struggling with memory loss?
• Have you or someone you care been referred for an assessment or have recently been diagnosed with dementia?
• Would you like support and information on dementia and have fun with activities known to stimulate the mind and promote wellbeing?
