M&S Launceston

The Launceston Memory Café, the first in Cornwall to open in October 2007, provides people in Launceston with a regular service for those in the community who would welcome the opportunity for a break in their everyday lives and a chance to go out and enjoy themselves. There's a relaxed and informal atmosphere which allows those having difficulties to share opportunities with others to reminisce and enjoy the afternoon, by way of pastimes - music, songs, pictures, word games, creative arts and so on. Carers can relax too, knowing they are in a place of understanding and care, able to exchange experiences with other carers and our volunteers, and to obtain further professional advice if needed (on a strictly confidential basis). New members and volunteers are all welcome. We run on alternate Saturdays from 2pm - 4pm

As part of the nationwide Trussell Trust Foodbank Scheme, we have been providing food for local people in need since 2011. We are open Monday to Thursday 10am to 1pm providing 3-day emergency food parcels to people who have been referred to us. We run Launceston Foodbank charity shop to help fund our foodbank to make us self-funding and sustainable. We have donation points in shops around the town to collect food.
