Clubs
Our social clubs consist of Weekend Day Care and a Thursday Group for more active people with dementia.
Socialise in a safe environment
The clubs provide people with dementia a chance to socialise in a safe environment and offer respite for their carers. During the clubs carers get a break from caring and can spend the time doing whatever they would like to do.

This is a day-care service for people diagnosed with dementia, based at Elm Lodge (Greenford) and Sycamore Lodge (Acton) care centres. This is a paid service.
We provide:
- a wide range of social and therapeutic activities to help maintain existing skills and develop new ones
- a lunchtime meal meeting
- a safe and welcoming environment in which people living with dementia can meet
- transport to and from the centres if needed (pick up from 10.00am and drop off by 4.30pm)
How to join us
Referrals to the weekday/weekend clubs can be made by your Dementia Link Worker or Dementia Adviser if you are already a member of Dementia Concern. Get in touch with your relevant Dementia Concern member of staff if you're interested.
You'll need to have a diagnosis of dementia, live in the borough of Ealing and be assessed by a Dementia Adviser or Link Worker to join the clubs.
If you’re not already known to Dementia Concern, you can speak to an adviser first to book an initial assessment for Dementia Concern, then be assessed by one of our clubs team to attend the clubs.
