PramaLife has developed a network of 17 support groups for people with dementia and their carers across Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole and east Dorset. In their groups, they use activities which prompt memory and sensory stimulation. This includes handling common place objects, the use of flash cards, playing different sounds, watching a film, being exposed to different smells, singing, playing an instrument, listening to music and physical exercise. The participants are encouraged to discuss what they have: felt, seen, smelt or heard. Quizzes e.g. word association, are also used to stimulate cognitive reasoning. They have developed their network to include two groups focusing on Sporting Memories and two specifically focusing on music (including a Community Choir). Please support my fundraiser to enable them to continue to provide these invaluable groups.
