β¨ Finding Support and Joy in the New Year β¨
As the festive season winds down and we look ahead to 2026, we want to remind our patients and their families about the incredible support available locally for those living with dementia. π
Beyond Dementia (formerly Alzheimer's Support) runs over 30 friendly community groups across Wiltshire, designed to enhance wellbeing, keep minds and bodies active, and build friendships! π€
These groups offer a vital chance for connection, stimulation, and fun for people living with dementia, as well as providing essential support and a break for their family carers. π«
They offer a fantastic variety of activities, including:
πΆ Music for the Mind (Singing groups)
π¨ Art Groups & Creative Activities
β Memory CafΓ©s (for a cuppa and a chat)
πͺ Movement for the Mind (Gentle exercise groups)
π³ Outdoors groups and Practical Memory Sheds
Whether you are seeking companionship for a loved one, or simply need a safe space to meet other family carers, there is a group for you.
