If you've been interested in any of the activities that we've talked about in our project blog, or you've downloaded some of the dementia-related activity sheets from our website AND you live in Cornwall, you might be interested in the following information:
As part of our aim to support more people with dementia and their carers, we'll be running a series of FREE creative workshops in areas around St. Austell, Falmouth and Camborne. These workshops will offer the opportunity to learn new creative ways of engaging people with dementia with their outdoor environments. We know, through research and our own experiences that this helps to reduce anxiety, stimulate social interaction and improve sleeping patterns. All of which benefits people with dementia, their families and carers. But carers often find it difficult to reach events outside of their local area so we thought we'd bring our activities to communities.
All the venues are accessible and situated on public transport routes.
