ABI Café:
ABI Café is a Peer Support group for people affected by Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) in East Dunbartonshire, and their carers, spouses, family members and friends. ABI Café is the only brain injury support group of its kind in the area and is jointly facilitated by Ceartas and Headway Glasgow. Although these organisations support ABI Café, it is a peer-led group that really thrives on the input of its members and the lived experiences they share. The group has engaged in several Collective Advocacy activities, like holding Brain Injury Seminars to raise awareness of hidden disabilities.
ABI Café has regular invited speakers, talking to the group about subjects like:
- Welfare Reform and Universal Credit.
- Fire Safety and home security.
- Emergency Care Planning.
- Dealing with memory, cognitive and mood problems.
ABI Café is open to anyone in East Dunbartonshire with an Acquired Brain Injury, and although it is a drop-in café we would ask that you contact Ceartas in the first instance to let us know of any communication or access requirements you have, so that we can accommodate you and make you feel welcome.
ABI Café takes place on the first Thursday of the month, from 13:30 – 15:00, in the large hall of the Kirkintilloch Baptist Church. Come to the rear door, at the car park next to Sainsbury’s.
