Ceartas

 

Ceartas focusses on individuals through our ongoing work in East Dunbartonshire. We work to raise awareness of advocacy in East Dunbartonshire in a variety of ways.
Our De Cafe meets every month and is for people with dementia and their carers. This event allows individuals to chat and meet with others in similar circumstances to themselves while it gives people an opportunity to discuss any issues with staff. 

The De Cafe in Kirkintilloch has a regular attendance of between 20 - 25 people. Around half are partners/carers and half are people with a dementia. Although members are stable, there is a 'core group' of 8 - 10 people; some of whom have attended since the inauguration of De Cafe in 2005.

People have been signposted to De Cafe by local GP's, the Woodlands Centre, the Dementia Information and Support Group and through the ongoijng work of Ceartas and Carer's Link.
