Happy Days Hub, dementia and ageing well resource Bristol

Published On: March 4th, 2025

Bristol Dementia Action Alliance is excited to be launching its Happy Days Hub – a dementia and ageing well resource for people concerned about or affected by dementia.

This pilot, the first of its kind in the area, opens its doors on Monday 24th March at 2pm. All are welcome to attend this community afternoon to learn more about the Hub.

The Hub will open on Mondays and Fridays with a community café open to all, 10am-2pm at Ambition House, 2 Stiles Acres, Lawrence Weston. BDAA and partners will offer social, practical and holistic support to help people navigate the dementia journey.

An important aspect of the Hub is to offer preventative awareness and management of conditions which can affect us as we age and could increase the risk of developing dementia. BDAA and partners will educate about diabetes, high blood pressure and hearing loss as well as other conditions.

The Hub will host a variety of social groups including memory cafes and carer support groups.

We are delighted to be part of Ambition House which is the new community building by Ambition Lawrence Weston. This centre welcomes all of the community and hosts regular activities as well as supporting the wider community.

Lisa Dicker, Development Manager says: “We would love for this Hub to be part of the community and for local residents and businesses to play a key part in the success of this much needed resource.”

We need volunteers to support the Hub – we have a variety of key roles including supporting the café, helping with activities, being companions at the groups. Further details here: https://bdaa.org.uk/volunteering/ or email office@bdaa.org.uk.
