Why Come Along?
Over 1 in 3 people with dementia in the UK face severe loneliness.
Our groups are a warm, welcoming space designed to change that and help everyone stay connected.
Socialising is exercise for the brain!
Regularly chatting and sharing a laugh strengthens "cognitive reserve," keeping your brain active and healthy.
Just one hour a week makes a world of difference.
Evidence shows that just 60 minutes of weekly social interaction dramatically boosts daily mood and wellbeing.
Living with dementia presents unique challenges and could become an isolating experience, but forming connections at the onset of dementia can help people to stay active.
Dementia-friendly communities open the doors to a supportive and understanding community where individuals can participate in activities, connect, share experiences, and find meaningful engagement.
Within Sandwell, there are dementia-friendly community organisations dedicated to welcoming people living with dementia, recognising the vital role that community can play in their journey for both the person affected by dementia and the people looking after them.As community organisations that have many years' experience of supporting people with dementia, we offer a variety of activities and services designed to enrich lives, foster connection, and provide practical support.
Whether you are a person with dementia or a carer, you will find opportunities to learn, socialise, and express yourself in ways that suit your needs and interests.
