Young Onset Dementia Service

The Widdershins Centre at Age Connects Torfaen provides stimulating workshops and drop in support for people aged between 40 and 65 years, with a memory loss or young onset dementia diagnosis.
In recognition of our commitment to dementia awareness, we have been accredited with the Dementia Friendly Communities Award.
Our activity programme is designed to be both stimulating and therapeutic and is guided by the service user.
We support people to have a meaningful and varied programme of activities and opportunities that aim to promote and maintain independence and skills.
Younger people will also benefit from the social and emotional support from those in similar situations. We offer specialist information, advice and access to individual counselling by working in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Society and Torfaen & Blaenau Gwent MIND.
