Welcome to Betty’s Club
Friendship, Community and Wellbeing
A warm, inclusive members club and sensory garden adjacent to Burnham Market Surgery in Burnham Market, Norfolk, offering meaningful activities and positive support for our members – people with dementia and cognitive impairment and their family carers
Creating a safe space for people and families living with dementia
Through our life story gathering, activities specially chosen by members, carers’ learning workshops and research, we develop relationships with our members so that they can feel more connected and supported and part of a meaningful community.
Evidence shows that our model reduces members’ levels of stress, helps them build new friendships and improves the wellbeing of everyone involved.
Even in dementia, good mental wellbeing is possible.
A good life includes staying connected with loved ones, engaging in meaningful activities, and ensuring a safe and comfortable environment.
Ultimately, a good life with dementia is about adapting and finding joy in the present, while also planning for the future.
At Betty’s Club, members thrive through connection, activity and care
Betty’s Club is a thriving, inclusive community, where members feel valued and everything we do is shaped by their stories, their needs and their preferences.
Whether you are living with dementia, caring for someone who is, or offering your time as a volunteer, you’ll find space here to be yourself and to belong.
Because real care is something we create together.
We offer
- A welcoming space indoors and outdoors providing opportunities to contribute and connect with other members.
- Activity sessions chosen by and for our members
- Emotional, social and practical support and guidance for family carers
- Volunteer roles with meaningful training and support
BETTY’S Workshops – Building Better Dementia Care
Betty’s interactive learning and support programme for carers and volunteers, is underpinned by our WITH values:
Wellbeing, Involvement, Thoughtfulness and Hope
We support carers to connect, learn and share and mentor volunteers to become confident, skilled facilitators
“It was wonderful to hear dementia described as a life situation rather than an illness.” Carer member
“There were helpful techniques which other members would also have found useful as we all need support.” Carer member
“Caring seems such an everyday thing, so I was glad to be able to talk about how it feels.” Carer member
