Willow Group – Hatfield

The Willow Group offers an exciting mix of activities for people with mild to moderate dementia, or memory loss. The group is run by highly trained staff, supported by a team of caring volunteers. Clients can attend without a loved one or carer. The group takes place from 10am – 2pm on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week at Friendship House, Hatfield. Anyone can refer themselves or a loved one, by sending us a referral form via our website. You can also come along for a trial session to meet the group, and see whether the club is for you. We are delighted to be able to offer transport for this service in partnership with Communities 1^st.

The Willow Group offers a wide range of both group and individual activities. We work with you to understand your hobbies and your life story so that we can create activities that centre around your interests. Here are some examples of the activities we do:
