Event Description:

Welcome to The Lightbulb Café

The Lightbulb Café is a dementia-friendly initiative, dedicated to supporting individuals in the early to mid-stages of dementia and their carers. Hosted by the Wycombe Wanderers Foundation, our café offers a warm, welcoming, and safe space where participants can build support networks, engage in reminiscence activities, and take part in light physical exercises that promote holistic well-being.

What We Offer

Held monthly at Monty’s Lounge, the Lightbulb Café uses Wycombe Wanderers’ memorabilia and memory boxes from Wycombe Library to spark personal memories and stimulate the senses. These engaging, interactive activities are designed to encourage conversation and help improve mobility and physical health. The carers have the opportunity to connect with others in similar situations, offering valuable support.
