Scots Lane
Scots Lane opened in spring 2023, bringing much-needed specialist dementia day care to Salisbury.
Our newest club opened in 2023 after an ambitious renovation project to create a purpose-designed space close to, and accessible from, the city centre.
Like Beyond Dementia's other clubs, it features a spacious main activity room, an open plan kitchen and quieter indoor garden area where members can unwind in more natural-feeling surroundings. And like the other clubs, the focus is on providing a stimulating and engaging day out for people who, with the right support, have much still to enjoy in life.
There's space for 12 members and each day follows our trademark formula of small group activities, a relaxed informal atmosphere and high staff ratios allowing everyone to follow their preferences.
We get to know members well at all our day clubs and activities are tailored as much as possible to a member's own interests. General activities include art therapy, cookery, board games, reminiscence, poetry readings, photography and much more, alongside plenty of chat and laughter. The club is keen to forge close links with the local community with visiting schoolchildren, musicians and entertainers all welcomed.
Lunch is prepared from fresh ingredients each day in the club's open plan kitchen, with members getting involved with preparations if they wish to.
Scots Lane club is run by manager Heidi Matthews and her team of specialist staff and trained volunteers.
Open Tuesday to Friday.
