Groups

It was wonderful to you see again and be with friends, joining in at Bite and Blether. The loneliness was certainly put aside and replaced with love and laughter being amongst everyone.

Thanks again, class was really good, lovely people.

He looks forwards to his lunch club and I think his speech and mind benefit from it afterwards having been stimulated.

The group is educational and I now see things in different ways.

I much look forward to the outing every month.

Very understanding of my memory issues and love the related activities.

It has been great for her, she has come on so much since starting to come along.

It’s a lovely wee group from the volunteers to the folks who attend.

I live quite a long distance away from my sister. When she needed to get some more support in place for her dementia, the information about local services and support that you were able to give me was invaluable. I can't thank you enough.

Good confidence builder!

I like coming here because I know people’s faces and don’t have to worry about saying the right thing.

What a team you all are. Thank you to Ceartas. I wish I’d known about you when I cared for my mum. On the way home, [my friend] said she was so happy and felt totally uplifted from her afternoon out.

[Staff] do a great job supporting us in many ways especially emotionally when we are having a bad day.

[Staff member] helped me so much when I lost my husband, she made me feel like I was needed again, which is exactly what I needed at the time.

It’s a safe group to come to and nobody judges you for anything.

I really enjoyed the group yesterday, it was really interesting with lots of good info.

I enjoy volunteering and its really good to get to know everyone.

I enjoy time with friends.

Thank you so much for everything you do. You have no idea how much this means to us.

I was glad it was Monday this morning as I’ve got this group on Mondays. I like this wee group.

Before I started [the group], I thought that I could never do this, but as weeks go on, I have found it getting much better

Everyone makes you feel welcome. Staff and volunteers make you feel welcome. They are great.

De Café is essential for families and carers living with dementia alike, it makes both feel not so alone living with dementia.

Very interesting and good source of information and good company.

I want to express my deepest gratitude for the wonderful experience and the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful cause.

Coming to this group has enhanced my 'OAP life' tremendously. I would be absolutely lost without the cheery camaraderie of this lovely group meeting.

I look forward to writing every week.

Thank you for all you do for me and my husband.

I was out visiting a client yesterday, she comes to both Bishopbriggs & Kirkintilloch groups, she is really struggling but has nothing but praise for you all.

I come here to be cheered up.
