• Free drop-in writing sessions for people with dementia and early-stage dementia
• A beautiful display of words created in the workshops and sent in from home

Support our Charity Partner

Prama specialises in care for those living with dementia and other, more complex care requirements. They can also provide a helping hand at home to offer some peace of mind for

families who are looking for a lighter touch, such as support with day-to-day tasks around the home.

​

Prama offers a wide range of activities and services which look to directly tackle social isolation, increase personal independence, and help people enjoy life as they age.
