Curious Minds Sessions
Our Curious Minds programme offers sessions for older people living with dementia, facing loneliness and/or other social needs.
These informal, fun and relaxed sessions are designed to spark conversation and reminiscence. We can offer outreach sessions, coming to your care home, community centre or dementia cafe. We can also run our sessions virtually either via Zoom or phone. Groups can also visit our Museum for an in-person tour and object handling.
There are a range of sessions we can offer covering a variety of topics from the Jewish East End to School Days. These are all led by team members who are trained Dementia Friends. Below are the sessions currently available.
