Volunteers have launched a new monthly coffee morning for people living with dementia.

The Dengie Dementia Café, run by Alzheimer’s Society volunteers, is also open to people who have memory problems or carers.

It aims to provide friendship, support and information, with a support worker from the charity on hand to answer questions and regular talks on living with dementia.

The first event is on Monday from 10.30am to 12.30pm at Burnham Town Council Offices in Chapel Road, Burnham.
