We are pleased to have been chosen as the My Ageing Parent's Charity of the Month for May! Find out more about them by clicking the banner below.
All older people are valuable to us, whether they’re living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, physical disabilities, degenerative illnesses such as Parkinson’s, learning difficulties or mental disorders.
Alive Activities works to provide care home residents across the South West with interactive activity sessions which can help stimulate them on all levels: physically, mentally and emotionally. We have all seen examples of care home residents sitting in chairs all day with nothing to do, and many are unable to break this pattern themselves. Alive! offers them something different, a change of energy, and a breath of fresh air from their normal routine. We also offer training for care home staff in how to run these sessions for themselves.
From Guided Reminiscence sessions to Art Workshops to Dance Movement, our aim is to help older people regain their interest and engagement with their lives and help them feel Alive!

"Our users are often lonely and isolated. Many have lost their social skills and have nothing to talk about. The Alive! sessions give them topics they can relate to and they talk and talk! It is marvellous, especially for those with dementia."
