What we do

We offer a wide range of training options throughout Wales and welcome expressions of interest from anyone interested in volunteering. Training is currently provided free of charge and can be tailored to the needs of your team/organisation.
We lead group sessions in Care homes, or anywhere where there is a community of people with dementia within our service area’s, these are underpinned by theories such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy and Reminiscence Therapy and intended to be multi-sensory, fun environments for those participating. We seek to empower staff/volunteers in these communities to continue running groups longer term.
We offer personalised, 121 support for people living with dementia in the community providing individuals with a positive, personal action plan based on their particular needs and ambitions. The principal aim of the 121 support is to help the individual to be as physically and mentally active as possible.

Who do we support

Those with a formal diagnosis of dementia who are mobile and do not already have an appropriate support network in place. In providing this support we also recognise that family members/carers might also benefit from the short period of respite that arises. We do not provide personal care.

We also provide various information sessions, (currently free of charge), for those supporting someone living with Dementia as well as various training options that can be tailored to meet the needs of your team or organisation.
