Find a place to come in and rest

Find a welcoming place where you can sit for a few minutes when you need to.

About this project

Inspired by similar schemes in Nottingham and Manchester, the idea is simple but effective – shops, libraries, pharmacies and other places put a ‘Come in and Rest’ sticker in their window to let people know they’re offering a welcoming place where older people can sit for a few minutes when they need to.

Businesses and organisations can sign up to the ‘Come in and Rest’ scheme on its own
There’s also the option for the scheme to form part of your organisation’s action plan when you sign up to become more Age and Dementia Friendly.
