Largs Lads Club is taking place on the Thursday 26 November from 3pm-5pm at the masonic hall in Frazer Street, Largs.
The monthly group has been set up by the Dementia Support Service of North Ayrshire Council as a way of encouraging men with dementia to be able to enjoy and relive moments of sporting history.
Co-ordinator Lawrence Lindsay explained: “Sport is a great way for persons with dementia to enjoy attending groups. The use of gentle quizzes based around the use of images act as a prompt to stimulate recollections. The feel good factor of attending a group can sometimes stay with the person for the rest of the day.”

Anyone wanting to attend can arrive on the day, or if you need more information please contact The Dementia Support Service on 01294 602720. The group's next meeting will be on Thursday 28 January.
