Brampton Dementia Friendly Village Activities
All sessions are held at at Brampton Memorial Centre, Thrapston Road, Brampton PE28 4TB
(Free and plentiful parking available)
The Reconnect Social Group
The sessions follow a similar format each month of chat, cakes, cuppa, some form of entertainment, help and support and a carers breakout session. We also have a raffle! The sessions are free, although donations for refreshments are gratefully received.
Sessions are held on the first Wednesday of every month from 10.30am – 12.30pm.
The Thursday Club
Brampton Thursday Club has been set up to provide respite to carers in a safe, secure, friendly, fun environment for people living with dementia. The Thursday Club is managed by professional staff from the “Caring Together” (www.caringtogether.org) organisation and they are supported by volunteers. The Club offers various activities, refreshments, and a cooked lunch. Carers drop off those that they are caring for after 9.30am and have a day to themselves. Pick up is between 3pm – 3.30pm.
The Club runs on the third Thursday of every month and there is a charge of £30 per person per session to help cover the costs.
Love To Move
Another initiative, in conjunction with the British Gymnastics Foundation. ‘Love to Move’ is an age and dementia friendly seated exercise programme set to music. It’s been specially designed to get older people moving and functioning better, proving particularly beneficial for people living with dementia.
It’s great fun and a welcome cuppa is provided! It’s a pay as you go session at £3 per person and £1 per carer. Carers are welcome to stay and join in or take a break and watch.
Sessions are held weekly on Wednesday mornings 10.30am – 12.15pm (except for the first Wednesday of the month when we hold the Reconnect Social Group instead).
Singing Together
We have a dementia friendly choir called “Singing Together”. These fun sessions do not require any auditions or any solo singing – unless you’d particularly like to! Our songs are popular and mainstream so there is minimal learning – it’s much more about tapping into memories of songs we maybe learned as a child, teenager, or adult. The “Singing Together” sessions are held monthly and are also free. Song sheets are provided! We open the doors at 5.45pm and start singing at 6pm for an hour.
