This week's events at Alzheimer's Support

We know how much our families enjoy our groups and activities and how they benefit from them. So during this difficult time we’re offering a limited service in our communities with approval from Public Health England, as well as our regular online sessions.

To keep everyone safe, our in-person Music for the Mind groups, where operating, have become either a Movement for the Mind group or focus on arts and crafts activities.

Our groups are exempt from the Rule of Six, but we’re keeping our numbers low. More details can be found in our Covid-specific Risk Assessment for Community Groups

If you would like to come along to a group for the first time, or for any enquiries please call 01380 739055 or contact us by email.

For more information, resources and ideas for activities at home please see our Coronavirus and dementia webpages which are regularly updated.
