More than 30 people were at the celebrations for the Hethersett group at the village's Methodist church hall.

Music students from Hethersett Old Hall School performed and Zena Aldridge, regional Admiral nurse for Age UK, gave a talk on the progress made on raising awareness of dementia.

David Bills, chairman of the group, said: 'It's difficult to believe that it's two years since we launched the support group in Hethersett.

'We are delighted that the dementia café has proved so successful and shown a need for such an initiative in our community.'

Mr Bills also thanked the group's volunteers. He said: 'Without them we wouldn't exist.' The group's monthly café takes place in the church hall from 10am to midday on the third Tuesday of each month, and the next meeting is planned for June 20.
