The Memory Shed meets on Wednesdays 2pm-3.30pm and is for men and women living with dementia who like making things and working with tools. The friendly, sociable meetings allow people to work on practical projects supported by trained volunteers.

The group is a partnership between Alzheimer's Support and the Brunel Shed and meets weekly at Potley and Pockeridge Community Centre. We take a break in the winter when the weather is cold.

What happens at the Memory Shed

Projects include making bird boxes, memory boxes, wooden animals and outdoor planters. Members are also supported to work on their own chosen projects. Carers are welcome to join in as full members of the group. 

The shed also has a seating area where members can chat and get to know each other over refreshments. Occasionally the group has trips out to places of interest such as Lacock Abbey or museums in Bath. 

Corsham Health and Wellbeing group has supported the initiative with funds to buy specially adapted tools that are easier and safer to use.  Timber has been donated by Jewsons in Devizes.

The group is run by Kerry Rose. Call 01380 739055 or email the team to find out more.
