This partnership allows us to offer people living with dementia a chance to reconnect with beloved activities in a beautiful, rustic setting surrounded by horses. Our specialist day club staff will fully utilise the facilities, enabling club members to participate in meaningful equine-related activities, including horse and cart rides, which can significantly improve mental and physical health.”
The launch event on June 17th saw a gathering of local professionals, caregivers, and community members, all eager to support this innovative approach to dementia care.
