The Sunflower Cafe | Right at Home GF

The Sunflower Cafe

The Sunflower Café is a beloved community group held at the Methodist Church Hall in Farnham, known for its safe and welcoming environment for all - especially those living with dementia and their caregivers.

The café offers a space for socialising, helping to reduce isolation, while also providing valuable information and resources to better understand dementia. Through engaging activities, it aims to improve quality of life, enhance cognitive function, and encourage stimulation. By creating a strong sense of community, the café creates a supportive network for individuals and families navigating dementia.

Each week features different interactive sessions, including Bingo (a favourite), World Wheel, and seasonal activities like mosaic making or Valentine’s Day card crafting!

Love to Move

Love to Move is our engaging armchair exercise group, led by our wonderful Carer, Stacy. Designed to help older people stay active in a safe and supportive environment, each session offers a range of physical, mental and social benefits.

Regular armchair exercise can help improve cardiovascular health and increase blood flow to the brain, which may support cognitive function. It also helps maintain flexibility, improve joint mobility and reduce the risk of falls, while building strength to support independence in everyday life.

Alongside the physical benefits, Love to Move provides a welcoming space where people can socialise, have fun and enjoy moving together. The sessions help boost mood, encourage confidence and promote overall wellbeing, making them a great way to stay active and connected.

Singing For The Mind

Music groups offer numerous benefits for those living with dementia, as these sessions help enhance cognitive function and evoke special memories connected to the music - transporting individuals back to meaningful moments in their lives. Music not only improves mood for those with dementia but for everyone, reducing anxiety and fostering a sense of connection and engagement.

Studies have shown that music can access different parts of the brain than language, allowing people with dementia to remember songs and lyrics even when they struggle with other forms of communication. This can lead to improved memory recall and a greater sense of self-esteem and accomplishment.
