🌍✨ What an incredible experience! ✨🌍

Last Saturday, members of our Young Onset group had the opportunity to visit the Immersive Dome at the Market Hall with Real Ideas to watch *Our Story with David Attenborough* — and what a powerful experience it was.

The immersive experience completely drew us in, surrounding us with breathtaking visuals and an important message about our planet, nature and our shared future. It sparked lots of conversation, reflection and meaningful discussions within the group afterwards.

Experiences like this are so valuable for people living with dementia, creating opportunities to connect with others, learn something new, share experiences and enjoy memorable moments together.

Everyone really enjoyed the visit and found the experience both emotional and inspiring.

A huge thank you to the team at the Market Hall and Real Ideas for creating such an amazing space right here in Plymouth. We would definitely recommend a visit — the Immersive Dome is something really special!

🎶 A huge thank you to MJ from Soul Singers! 🎶

We absolutely love it when MJ from Soul Singers CIC joins CST groups in Plymouth. Her visits bring so much joy, energy and connection to the people we support. 💚

The power of singing for people living with dementia is truly incredible. Music can unlock memories, spark conversation, reduce anxiety and bring comfort in ways that words sometimes cannot. We often see smiles appear, feet tapping, songs being sung and precious memories shared, moments that are incredibly meaningful for everyone involved. ✨

MJ has a wonderful way of creating a warm, inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels involved, uplifted and connected through music.

Thank you, MJ, for sharing your time and talent so generously, we always look forward to seeing you!

Carers Week 2026💚

Looking after a loved one living with dementia can be rewarding, but it can also be challenging. Many carers don't recognise themselves as carers, which can mean missing out on valuable support.

At Memory Matters, we're here to help through dementia support, information, advice, training and respite for those caring for someone with dementia.

We're proud to be part of a community of amazing organisations across Plymouth that provide support for carers and people affected by dementia. Together, we're working to ensure no one has to face their caring journey alone.

You are not alone. Support is available, both for you and the person you care for.

We are proud to have partnered with Cornwall Libraries to create Memory Boxes thoughtfully put together to inspire conversation, connection, and shared moments.

Each box has been thoughtfully curated with themed objects, activities, and reminiscence prompts that help spark memories and encourage storytelling. From gardening and fashion to childhood memories and everyday life, every theme offers an opportunity to share experiences and reconnect with cherished moments.

These Memory Boxes have been specially created for people living with dementia or memory difficulties, as well as their families, friends, carers, and support networks.
By encouraging shared stories and conversations, they help strengthen connections and bring communities together 📦

A wonderful reminder that sometimes the smallest objects can unlock the most precious memories 💙

🌟 National Volunteers' Week 🌟

At Memory Matters, our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. Their time, compassion, and commitment help make our services meaningful for people living with dementia and their families.

☕ In our Memory Cafés, volunteers help create a friendly and relaxed environment where people can socialise, build friendships, and feel part of a community. A warm welcome, a listening ear, and a friendly conversation can make a significant difference to someone's day and help reduce feelings of isolation.

🧩 In our Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) groups, volunteers play a vital role in supporting activities and encouraging participation. Their presence helps create a positive atmosphere where participants feel comfortable, confident, and included. By helping people engage in discussions, games, and creative activities, volunteers contribute to sessions that promote wellbeing, social connection, and cognitive engagement.

Their contribution enables us to reach more people and provide the high-quality support that our community deserves.

To all of our Memory Café and CST volunteers:
Thank You. Your kindness and dedication make a lasting difference every day💙

💙 A message that speaks volumes about the power of connection…

This feedback beautifully reflects what Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) is all about.

For people living with dementia, CST isn’t just a group session – it’s meaningful engagement, gentle mental stimulation, and a chance to stay socially connected in a safe and welcoming space. It can help support memory, encourage conversation, and most importantly, reduce feelings of isolation.

But just as powerful are the ripple effects it has on families and carers. It also creates a valuable window of time for them. While their loved ones attend sessions, many are able to take a break, connect with others, and share their own experiences, surrounded by people who truly “get it.”

We’re so grateful for feedback like this, and for every person who shows up each week. It’s a reminder of why these sessions matter so much 💫
