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)
