Come together at our festive gathering to celebrate someone special, remember those we miss and share memories this Christmas.
Join ADSS (Alzheimer's and Dementia Support Services) for an evening of reflection, shared memories and togetherness this Christmas. Whether you’re remembering someone no longer with you, celebrating someone still beside you or simply coming along to be part of our community, you are warmly welcome.
Friday 4 December 2026, 4pm–5.30pm
Safeharbour Memory Wellbeing Centre, Coldharbour Road, Northfleet, Kent, DA11 8AE.
We’ll begin outdoors (partially covered) with a short, inclusive service. Through poems, readings and music, we’ll take a moment to reflect before switching on our outdoor Christmas tree lights.
Afterwards, join us indoors for complimentary refreshments and time to chat. You can also place a star on our indoor Tree of Remembrance to honour someone special, which will remain in place throughout December.
There will be an opportunity to explore our day centre and, weather permitting, our sensory garden.
Please register using the form below and tell us how many people will be coming with you.
We’d love you to join us. Please complete the form below, including any access requirements or anything you would like us to know before your visit.
There’s something special about taking a little time together. Sharing a story, hearing a familiar song or having a conversation over a warm drink can bring us closer and make room for memories we don’t always get the chance to talk about.
Come with family or friends, or come on your own. Whether you’d like to share, listen or simply enjoy being among others, there’s a place for you.
