GREEN DEMENTIA
We're developing a nature-based, therapeutic program specifically designed for people living with dementia and their family carers. Using the "Elders in the Woods" framework, the project aims to reduce social isolation, improve emotional well-being, and provide high quality sensory engagement through outdoor activity.
We would love to hear from you to help inform our project planning!
This is for anyone who cares for someone living with dementia, is themselves affected and/ or works in a care home or day centre for example.
