Dementia Friendly sessions
Award-winning Dementia Friendly Sessions
People living with Dementia and their carers know the things they are finding difficult, and our sessions, such as ‘Together Tuesday’, provides a much-needed respite from some of their daily challenges by focusing on positives memories and offering people opportunities to take part in activities which they are actually able to do and enjoy.
Our Together programme at Hadleigh Pool & Leisure
We welcome those living with dementia and their friends, family and carers to our Together sessions.
- Spend time together or apart in a supportive environment
- Socialise with others over a cuppa and a biscuit
- Quizzes, word searches and crosswords
- Chair based exercise optional
- Arts, crafts, poetry, music, games and much more
To offer variety, there is a themed programme for each week and you can see the programme timetable further down this page.
