Alzheimer's Society - Dementia Services Dementia Support Service Our local staff are working by phone, in writing and online to support people affected by Dementia. Local Dementia Advisers offer information and practical guidance to help people understand dementia, cope with day-to-day challenges, and prepare for the future.
Dementia Advisers are there to explain about the condition as well as signposting people to the support services available. Face to face visits can also be arranged as appropriate. Companion Calls Companion Calls can help people with dementia and their carers feel more connected and less lonely. These are a social chat - they do not offer specific dementia support, advice, or guidance.
Dementia Talking Point Dementia Talking Point is a helpful online community where anyone who is affected by dementia can receive valuable support.
More info. Aspex has been running Generate β a free, inclusive art workshop for people with dementia β since Providing a comfortable space to explore art, Generate takes place every Friday in our Learning Space. The sessions are led by artists Roy Eneas and Abi Wheeler, who support the participants to follow their own creative interests and find the techniques, materials and subject matter that inspires them.
Many of our participants join us with no arts background and those who do have some experience may not have painted or sketched for a long time. Over the years, we have seen how quickly people can develop their skills, gaining confidence and enjoyment through arts activities.
