Age UK Faversham and Sittingbourne run a COGS Club for those living with moderate to mild Dementia, providing support, stimulating activities and fun, as well as a chance to socialise with others.
The club runs using Cognitive Stimulation Therapy, which involves actively stimulating and engaging people whilst in a group setting, to improve their memories. According to dementia & psychology specialists at University College London, the effects of people being treated with CST appear to be comparable with those treated with anti-dementia drugs.
Whilst the day is focused around providing a supportive atmosphere and activities for clients, it can also provide respite for friends and family and can make caring responsibilities more manageable.
