Okehampton College's Memory Cafe is one of a number of groups supported by the charity Upstream Healthy Living Centres. The Cafe provides a space for people living with dementia and their carers to meet every month. This article reports on the development of the initiative and outlines some of the benefits and challenges. The group uses iPads in groups and one-to-one sessions as part of the memory work. The involvement of young people from the secondary school has added energy and enthusiasm to the sessions. (Original abstract)
