Sunflower Café

A dementia-friendly, welcoming space for carers of all kinds, those they care for, and people living with dementia.

Whether you’re supporting a partner, parent, friend, neighbour, or just looking for some company – the Sunflower Café offers a safe, friendly place to relax and connect with others.

Enjoy gentle activities like Boccia, crafts, games and guest sessions – or simply drop in for a friendly chat. Professional support and advice are also available.

Only £1 per session – free refreshments included. All are welcome.

For more information ring 01495708022, send us a Facebook message, or pop in!

We’re always looking for volunteers to help us with our community projects. If you would like to give a hand at any of our community projects, we would really love to hear from you.

Delivered in partnership with Blaenau Gwent Carers Hub, Adferiad and Gwent Access to Advocacy.
