Dementia Services

• 

  We run 'Memory Connections' groups across Somerset and North Somerset.

  These friendly and fun sessions use MCST (Maintenance Cognitive Stimulation Therapy) which has been proven to slow the progression of Dementia.

  At each weekly group session, members enjoy a range of activities providing stimulation to improve thinking, concentration and memory.

  Vintage Art Makers Group

  The group is all about bringing people together for art as a wellbeing activity.

  It's for the participants to meet new friends while enjoying mark making and other arty things, with a bit of instruction from Laura, and definitely tea and biscuits.

  You do not need to be ‘talented’, or have any experience!  The art we will be making will be accessible, therapeutic and fun.
