Meeting of Minds is a warm, welcoming peer-support group for South Gloucestershire residents aged 55+ who may be experiencing memory difficulties, awaiting a dementia diagnosis, adjusting to recent changes, or supporting someone who is.

These friendly monthly sessions offer a safe space to:

  • Share experiences with others who truly understand
  • Build confidence and feel less alone
  • Explore positive, practical ways of coping with changes
  • Connect with local people in a similar situation

 

Each group is relaxed, inclusive and supported by experienced facilitators who ensure everyone feels valued and heard. Whether you come along with a care partner or attend on your own, you’ll be greeted with understanding and reassurance.

Sessions run monthly at two community locations—Bethesda Chapel in Hawkesbury Upton, and Stoke Gifford Retirement Village—making it easy to choose whichever venue works best for you.
