Young Memory Impaired Lancashire
Welcome to Young Memory Impaired Lancashire, a meet-up group designed to connect individuals, particularly those aged 20s, 30s, and 40s onwards, living with memory impairment. We aim to create a supportive community for those who feel isolated or underrepresented due to conditions like ABI, MCI, or FND, and who wish to enhance their social life, build new connections, and offer mutual support.
Our story
Young Memory Impaired Lancashire was born from the recognition that individuals with memory impairment, especially younger adults, often struggle to find social environments where they feel understood and included. We noticed a significant gap in services, with most support groups catering predominantly to the elderly. Our mission is to bridge this gap, providing a vibrant and inclusive space for social interaction and connection, free from judgment and alienation.
Our beginnings
This voluntary service is a new initiative, currently in its early stages. We are building our community from the ground up, starting with casual food and drink meet-ups in and around Blackburn and Lancashire. Our initial plans include regular gatherings in locations such as Blackburn, Bolton, and Preston, with occasional excursions to nearby cities like Manchester, Leeds, and Liverpool to reach as many people as possible. Your patience and participation as we grow are greatly appreciated.
