ListenDementia Wellington – What’s coming up in November, December 2024
We will keep this plan up to date as possible – feel free to contact your Dementia Advisor with any questions.
COG CAFES
A Cog café is an opportunity to socialise with other people and their supporters over a coffee in a local
café. There’s no need to register, but if you can let the Dementia Advisor know you are coming, that would be appreciated. You can go to any of the cafes in the Wellington region. A Dementia Advisor will always be present.
