Memory Lane Café: Where Queer Hearts & Memory Meet

Forget the noise, the rush, the algorithm—it’s time to slow down, sip something soothing, and soak in the warmth of connection.

Hosted at the lovely the Theatrette – Victorian Pride Centre, this isn’t your average coffee klatch. It’s a tender, glitter-dusted sanctuary for LGBTQIA+ folks, their families, friends, and caregivers touched by dementia. Imagine cozy chairs, a playlist that sparks nostalgia (think ABBA, Prince, maybe even a little Kylie), and zero pressure to perform—just be.

Trained pros from Dementia Australia are on hand to chat, guide, and just… listen. No jargon. No judgment. Just real human connection. This beautiful collaboration with Lifeview Residential Care crafts a space where laughter and quiet comfort coexist.

Snacks? Check. Gentle entertainment? Double check. Emotional safety? Absolutely.

Don’t just scroll past this one—save a seat. It’s FREE, but you gotta book it. Grab your spot by calling 1800 100 500 or emailing vic.memorylanecafe@dementia.org.au. Your future self—and your community—will thank you.

Bring your memories, your stories, or just your quiet presence. You belong here.
