Butterflies Memory Loss Support Group

Butterflies Memory Loss Support Group was set up by June Cooke in 2010 after her father, George, was diagnosed with dementia in 2008. She found there were services and support available for the individual diagnosed with the condition, but very little for their families and those closest to them and limited access to groups which welcomed both. June was already heavily involved with the King’s Fund Project in Hull, which was set up to enhance the healing environment within the Hull Memory Clinic, which now hosts the memory assessment service for Hull and the East Riding. Having gained a greater knowledge of dementia during her time with the project, she took the step to establish Butterflies.
