Our Warminster Memory Group is for anyone in Warminster living with any kind of dementia, as well as their family carers.
We meet every Tuesday afternoon in the comfortable foyer at Christ Church for friendly conversation over refreshments, followed by a different activity each week:
Week 1: Memory Café with entertainment
Week 2: Music for the Mind with David Moss
Week 3: Memory Café with entertainment
Week 4: Movement for the Mind with Sam Grief (gentle seated dance and exercise)
Each session is relaxed and welcoming, with trained staff on hand to answer questions about dementia and offer informal support.
The group is led each week by Amy. If you’re looking for a friendly, supportive space, please come along and give it a try!
Why take part
The groups were started in response to research showing the benefits of physical activity to people with memory and cognitive problems. Our facilitators include dance therapists, fitness coaches and physiotherapists who are specialists in their field and trained in dementia awareness.
What you can expect
Sessions will start with a warm-up before moving on to the main activity. Everyone is encouraged to do as much or little as they feel able to and you do not have to be 'super-fit' to take part. People with restricted mobility and wheelchair users are welcome. The exercise lasts for about an hour and at the end of the refreshments are served during a social half hour before the group closes.
