The name of the club has yet to be decided but it will meet on the first Wednesday of each month at The Edge Children's and Community Centre in Dalby Road, Melton, starting on Wednesday, April 1 from 10am to 11.30am.

The club will provide an opportunity to meet others in similar situations in a relaxed, comfortable and friendly atmosphere. There will also be a selection of Alzheimer's Society leaflets, magazines and books available to browse or borrow.

The Alzheimer's Society may also be able to help those who require transportation to the club. Please contact Lynn Orridge, carer support worker for the Alzheimer's Society in the borough on (01664) 561244 or [email protected]
