Tameside Beer Festival

Charities

At Tameside Beer Festival, we take pride in not only bringing together beer enthusiasts for a memorable experience but also in giving back to our community. With each festival we host, we dedicate a portion of the proceeds to support various charitable initiatives. Join us in raising a glass for a good cause!

This Year's Charities

St George’s Church Dementia Café provides a safe, warm environment for sufferers of Dementia and their carers.

We provide a substantial hot meal. We use tools to assist in the cognitive function of the patients whilst also providing entertainment through fun activities, music, quizzes and games. The café also provides carers with a support network of like minded people for mutual benefit. Music is a recognised therapeutic medium for those living with Dementia and we often hire musical groups, choirs or artistes to entertain us.  

This service is an invaluable tool for both the patient and their carer. 

At the Primary Care Network Hub in Stalybridge, we have a wonderful Dementia service who support patients and their families living with Dementia.

Our pro-active approach ensures that these people are supported throughout their journey.

Access to social and support groups is essential for well-being.  The power of music when introduced to people living with dementia can help to create a meaningful conversation without words.

Led by professional musicians, music therapists, and Music Champions, our Music Café provides ‘in the moment’ person-centred care for people living with dementia. They bring moments of joy, connection, true expression and help enhance the wellbeing of all who attend.  We will be looking to expand our groups here at the Hub and any monies raised will benefit our patients and families here in Tameside.

Forget-Me-Not Buddies is a group run by Carers and Volunteers that specifically offers subsidised social activities and interaction for persons living with Dementia and their Carers.

It offers support from people who have walked the full path of the Dementia journey, from diagnosis to beyond demise of the diagnosed. The group is based in Tameside and accepts members from surrounding areas. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Willow Wood Hospice's dementia service provides specialist, compassionate support for people living with advanced dementia and those who care for them.

The Hospice’s dedicated team helps patients remain comfortable and well at home while offering practical advice, emotional support and guidance to families. We also run our popular twice-monthly Dementia Café, where people living with dementia and their carers can enjoy music, crafts, refreshments and friendship in a welcoming environment. The money will help support our dementia service, including activities at the Dementia Café, ensuring local people continue to receive care and support when they need it most.
