Taking part in a social group activity is stimulating, uplifting and enhances well-being for people living with dementia and family carers alike. We offer a wide variety of groups, some weekly, some fortnightly and some more occasional. From singing groups and art groups to our Living Well discussion group, our Creating Connections programme aims to provide something for everyone.
Due to increasing costs, we request a £1.50 per head contribution 'on the door' at most groups, with £3 for art and Muddy Boots groups.
Our groups are all now reopening again. We follow guidance from PHE and comply with national guidelines.
