Sunflower Café
A dementia-friendly, welcoming space for caregivers of all kinds, those they care for, and anyone looking for a bit of company.
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.
