Home of Cricket hosts sessions to tackle isolation and dementia
Yvonne Muigua from MCC, who organises the sessions, told Sky News:"It's a feeling of coming here, knowing someone is going to look after you even if it's for an hour.
"It's much bigger on the inside and you never know what's going to happen when you get in here so I want people to have that feeling - coming here having a cup of tea, a wander and a chat with people."She lives with dementia and although it's in the early stages, she still feels very lonely at home. Sylvia, who often forgets things about the day before or even the morning, added:"Anything you can focus on when you can bring back memories... anything you have a stimulant to keep your brain going - speaking to people and having the confidence to speak.
