What is a dementia friendly café?

All of the staff in GIFT Café are ‘Dementia Friends’, it is a not for profit organisation and all profits are donated to projects tackling social isolation in the community.
We wanted to set up GIFT Café in Puddington to help people who live with dementia and their carers to live as well as possible, for longer.
People with dementia are often isolated and so are their carers. We have regular customers who see our café as one of the few places they can come where they are not judged. They love the idea of coming to a place in the community that welcomes them.
All our staff are Dementia Friendly – our youngest is sixteen – which means they know exactly how to make a person with dementia feel comfortable.
This can mean making sure the right music is played at the right volume, as many people with dementia don’t like loud noises, or being on hand to give reassurance when it’s needed.

Gift Cafe Puddington is wheelchair accessible with a drop off point directly next to the wheelchair access. We have plenty of car park space for customer vehicles to the rear of the cafe.

Cyclists and Walkers Welcome

We are situated next to very popular cycling and walking routes and know that a very important part of a great days cycling or walking involves an excellent cafe stop. Our spacious cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating areas where you can rest, enjoy some quality refreshments and prepare for the next stage of your journey.
