Please note our community groups will be closed from Thursday 5th November as we enter a second lockdown. We'll be keeping in touch with all members by phone and running Music and Movement sessions online via Zoom. For information about taking part in an online session, or for activities ideas to do at home, please see our Covid-19 information pages
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' towards running costs at most of our groups, with £3 for art and Muddy Boots groups.
