Living Well With Dementia Groups Northumberland
Living Well With Dementia Groups Northumberland – Royal Voluntary Service
Weekly sessions designed for people with mild to moderate dementia or cognitive impairment. Service users and their carers will be able to participate in a range of stimulating and purposeful activities that promote good physical health and mental wellbeing, such as crafts, cookery, nature-based activities, games, puzzles and gentle exercise sessions whilst maintaining their socialising skills.
Cognitive Stimulation Therapy – a discussion based group designed to be good fun whilst also stimulating and challenging the brain for people with dementia.
Carers participate in the morning sessions. Normal prices are below but at present they are trialing a £10 per couple charge, currently until the end of 2023 when this will be reassessed.
