Reminiscence
Although open to everyone, the second activity group was started with those not interested in art or no longer able to manage to do it, in mind. The group began in February 2019 and originally took the form of a ‘Sensory Experience’ – with the month’s ‘theme’ explored through all the senses. However, the Pandemic put paid to all ‘sharing’ experiences and when the group re-started, the themes became more reminiscence-based - with sensory work when/if possible.
Each month there is a different theme – to cater for all interests – with the themes being slightly more male-orientated.
The sessions can take the form of games, puzzles, talks, exercise classes, practical activities, artefacts, slide shows, music, theatre, Gardening and local history - with trips out in the summer. Sessions can be led by members of Greenbuttercup Dementia Services or outside speakers and take place on the third Friday of the month.
