Our wonderful Wayfinders and Hosts of the Cornwall Memory Cafe Podcast bring you a live episode as they sit down with Cym Downing, Founder of the first-ever Memory Cafe which is situated Launceston.
Cym Downing talks about how and why she founded the Memory Cafe, the importance of local community support and the invaluable help the Memory Cafes have on so many lives. We also discover the opinions of carers who have experience with supporting loved ones with forms of memory loss; the carers speak of hardship and isolation and why the Memory Cafes are so indispensable. In 2020, Cym was awarded with the Cornwall Civic Award in recognition of her outstanding contribution to community life in Cornwall.
Launceston Memory Cafe is a charity in its own right but also a proud constituent of the Cornwall Memory Cafe Network. Launceston Memory Cafe introduced this groundbreaking approach into the Duchy. Taking inspiration from Launceston, the Cafe Network grew into what it is today, an almost 50 Memory Cafe strong network with over 400 volunteers!
