About the Friendship Group

We’ve had a lovely afternoon. I’m so pleased we came. I can’t remember the last time we danced.

Beveley – A carer (October 2021)

I wanted to thank you for a wonderful time on Tuesday. Dad has not stopped talking about everyone being so welcoming and friendly. Thanks again.

Adele – a carer (October 2021)

I love coming to Reflections. It really is a highlight. You are such a wonderful team.

Vikki – Singer (October 2021)

The hard work you both put into your Reflection Friendship online group with your team is amazing. You should  both be very proud of yourselves. They are fantastic and such engaging sessions.

Never forget, Peter, yourself and the team at Reflections Group made dementia bearable. Your group gave me and Mum a better life together.

It’s made such a difference to my life, coming to your group. I haven’t wanted to go to groups in the past, but I’m glad I came to yours. I go home happy.

Great friendliness and welcome shown by all; the singing and dancing; the join-in philosophy; the various other activities in adjoining rooms; the great location; the structured activity – but it is low-key and better for that. Lovely volunteers.

Martin (June 2018)

I have never seen so many happy people. The entertainment toady was fantastic. I felt as if I was at the theatre.

Anonymous (June 2018)

Caring, non-judgemental, friendly supportive environment, filled with wonderful people and staffed by wonderful friends. Throughly enjoyable and brightens my mum’s day. What more can you ask for. Don’t change what is already perfect.

I really like the group. Everyone enjoys themselves, its the best one around. The other groups will have to go a long way to top this one.

Always lovely people! Always happy. At least you have time to enjoy our life

Wonderful group. No need for improvement. We all agree that it’s a joyous environment. Always interesting. Always happy.

Tina and June (March 2017)

“I just wanted to say thank you for the work that you do in running your group.  My Stepfather has been attending recently and he really enjoys it, especially the singing at the end. It is a really valuable service that you are providing and it is much appreciated. I live in Sussex so am not nearby and it is good for me to know that he has a group to go to that he finds friendly and enjoyable.”

Caroline, Carer of person with dementia

“Lovely to meet you and the team yesterday. You are all doing fantastic work and it was nice to see such good rapport between volunteers, people with dementia and their carers.  It is a very well run group and it’s easy to see why you have such great attendance.”

Abbey, Commissioning Officer Royal Greenwich

About both groups

Thank you and the group for what you have been doing. You are all fantastic. It made mum’s day every time she went there. Keep going, as you help so many people. The advice I got at the Carers’ Support Group really helped me.
