Dementia Active

Dementia Active is a charity with an established track record in providing social activity groups for people who have a diagnosis of dementia. The value of spending time with others who can share this sense of isolation cannot be overestimated: ● We aim to create a sense of community where no one need feel apologetic or uncomfortable about not being able to do those things which in the past would have been straightforward. ● Conversation is encouraged - both socially, particularly when people arrive but also in more structured reminiscence sessions. ● Group activities are opportunities to be playful ● The benefits overall are raised energy levels and improved cognition
