💙 Come along, get involved and enjoy time together.

Our Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) sessions in St Austell and Wadebridge continue on 9th November.

Designed for people living with mild to moderate dementia, CST brings people together in a friendly and supportive environment, using enjoyable activities to stimulate thinking and memory, build confidence and encourage new friendships.

From conversations and reminiscence to games, music and physical group activities, there’s something for everyone to get involved in — whether you enjoy sharing stories, having a chat, trying something new or simply spending time with others. ☺️

If you’d like to find out more for yourself or someone you know, our team would be happy to chat and explain what to expect.

💭 I once was…

We asked our lovely Memory Café group beneficiaries & Carers to finish the sentence and we weren’t quite prepared for the amazing stories that followed...

From plumbers and café assistants to shop owners, air traffic controllers and British & Australian space engineers… we discovered so many different careers, experiences and passions🫶

It was a wonderful session of sharing stories, reminiscing and discovering the fascinating things our group has done!

A lifetime of stories, experiences and memories... we loved hearing every one💙

Dementia research is often framed as the search for a cure. That work is vital, but research must also improve lives now.

Research can help us prevent or diagnose dementia earlier. It can help people live as well as possible following a diagnosis, support families and unpaid carers around them, and ensure compassionate support at the end of life and through bereavement.

That's why Dementia Research UK’s 'Research for Every Step' campaign brings together 14 expert partners working across that whole journey.

Each partner brings different knowledge, experience and ideas. Together, their work shows what becomes possible when research responds to every stage of people’s lives.

Today we want to thank and celebrate all our partners for the incredible work they continue to do 👏
