About Dementia Fun Clubs
Our Kingfisher clubs offer an exciting mix of activities for people with mild to moderate dementia. The clubs are run by highly trained staff, supported by a team of caring volunteers. Clients can attend without a loved one or carer.
Club sessions take place three days a week (Monday to Wednesday) at the Jubilee Centre in St Albans. Anyone can refer themselves, or a loved one, by sending us the referral form linked below.
