“The very best thing I do each week is see Jo, Sue, Andy and our group. It is such a joyous group and we all gain so much from each other’s company.” Group Member

Memory Connections run groups for people living in Bristol with mild to moderate memory loss. The sessions maintain memory skills, build confidence, and offer the opportunity to socialise in a fun and supportive environment. Group members will be able to take part in meaningful and stimulating exercises, proven to help maintain memory and mental functioning.

Memory Connections runs weekly for two-hour long sessions, which include a variety of activities. We use a model called Maintenance Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (MCST) which is the only non-drug treatment recommended by the National Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for people living with dementia.

Some of the activities that you can expect in any of these sessions include:

discussions of topics of interests
word games and quizzes
physical activities
creative and musical activities

“I always enjoy Memory Connections and meeting new people; I enjoy the topics and different people's views on things. It helps my brain power because I hear different points of view.” Group Member

“I really enjoyed the session today again. I’m already looking forward to next week.” Group Member
