‘
Cobh Friday Friendly Café’ for people with Dementia
and their Carer’s

The Cobh Age Friendly Committee and Great Island Community Forum are excited to tell you
about the new ‘Cobh Friday Friendly Café’ for people with Demetria, Alzheimer’s and Memory
loss, and their Carers. The pop up café which will take place on the last Friday of every month
in the Great Island Community Centre will be free to attend and run by volunteers. People can
relax and enjoy a cup of tea, some cake and a chat with our volunteers and other carers. It
will be a supportive, safe environment.

We wish to invite anyone living with Alzheimer’s, Memory loss and other Dementia’s and their
Carer’s, family or friends. We are also seeking much-needed volunteers to help out with the
café, either on the day, or with baking. If you would like to get involved please contact Sharon
on 0833982587 or Stephanie on 086041516.

The first Cobh Friday Friendly Café will be held on August 31st from 11am- 1pm at the Great

CORK HARBOUR ISLANDS PROJECT (C.H.i.P.) - 2018 EXHIBITION

‘Cork Harbour Islands Project (C.H.I.P.) will be holding their next Exhibition in Cobh Maritime
Building, Railway Station, Cobh in September. This year’s exhibition will focus on one of the
most iconic buildings in Ireland – St Colman’s Cathedral. Our beautiful Cathedral will celebrate
the 150th Anniversary of the laying of its Foundation Stone this year and next year will see the
100th Anniversary of its Consecration.
The Exhibition will focus on the all aspects of the Cathedral from its beginning, those that
worked on it and the huge social aspect it has played in the history of our town over the last
hundred years. In this regard we would be delighted for any of your photos of these social
events such as Weddings, Christenings Confirmations, Communions and any other photos/
info you may have on the Cathedral. Everything is of interest to us no matter how small as it is
only by recording this information that it is preserved for generations to come.
