Do you care for someone with Dementia?

We are pleased to announce a new service is available to carers and dementia patients called Dementia Adventure which is a pilot in Essex for a new service offering Supported Days Out for people living dementia and their carers to boost their wellbeing by getting outdoors. We would like to raise awareness of this service which we feel will help those that are feeling anxious since lockdown about getting back outdoors. The aim is to offer a supported outing to build confidence and enable people to get outdoors and connect with nature regularly themselves. You can find out more here
