Welcome to Tapestry Day Club

Helping people with early-stage dementia live
independently for as long as possible

Tapestry Day Club is a charity that provides the opportunity for people in Surrey and West Sussex with early-stage dementia to enjoy an engaging and enjoyable day out in small groups within the family home of one of our wonderful hosts on a regular basis, in some areas up to three times per week.

Included in the day are all refreshments, a two-course, home-cooked lunch and optional memory-boosting activities tailored to the interests of individual guests. Our hosts are carefully vetted and fully trained. And transport is generally available, too.

A DAY WITH US

SUPPORT US

As a charity, your support is vital for us to help older people with modest means. We would love to hear from you if you or your company would like to be part of something special. Why not sponsor a guest? You could make a big difference to a family, providing a day out as well as carer respite.

You can slow the progress of dementia by reducing the risk factors – by as much as 40%. Infrequent social contact is one of those risk factors.
