Dementia café鈥檚 never ending story
Published: 08/05/2017
A dementia caf茅 in Buckley hosted a Buckley Dementia Friendly Buckley funded
project at their monthly meeting recently.
The intergenerational project run by RMD - Memory Matters delivers a 鈥淣ever
Ending Story鈥�, using imagination and reminiscence and works with people living
with dementia, their carers and school children.
Donna Redgrave from RMD - Memory Matters, who has been working with students
from Southdowns School in Buckley, said:
鈥淭his is the fourth school we have worked with in 天涯社区 on this project.
RMD 鈥� Memory Matters believes that the arts can significantly help everyone
affected by dementia to live well. They can also be a vehicle to enhance
peoples鈥� awareness and understanding of the condition and bring communities
together. We offer a range of creative services, training and support, for
people living with dementia, their carers and the wider community.
鈥淧upils, teachers and support staff at Southdowns have completed a 鈥淒ementia
Friends鈥� session which introduces them to the challenges of living with
dementia. Following this, a group of students work with me on a 鈥淣ever Ending
Story鈥� session.鈥�
Dementia Caf茅s provide a safe, comfortable and supportive environment for
people with dementia and their carers to socialise.
As well offering a range of fun and engaging activities, Dementia Caf茅s give
both carers and people with dementia a chance to get information and advice and
talk to others with similar problems.
