A group of people with dementia and those who care for them recently enjoyed the Alzheimer's Society monthly trip from Richmond to the Royal Academy to join in InMind at the RA for coffee and conversation and for people living with dementia and their carers to discuss artworks from the collection.
The outing is part of the Dementia Friendly Activities programme in Richmond which has been working with a number of organisations to facilitate new and exciting activities for people with dementia living in Richmond. Carers have also benefitted from the activities:
• A really enjoyable experience. Not only the ‘in mind’ session where we share our thoughts but also the opportunity to meet up on a regular basis with other people with dementia and their carers. All the curators and volunteers at the RA are so supportive (Carer)
• Stimulating, friendly, very enjoyable. The in house artists are encouraging and supportive. We look forward to the trips and enjoy the good company on the bus (Carer and Person with Dementia)
