Regular Therapeutic Groups and Activities
We believe that inspiring those who live with dementia improves their quality of life. Every person affected by dementia should be encouraged to live life to the full. With this belief Dementia Support South Lincs has set up a number of therapeutic activities and groups and continues to develop new ones. Please contact us if you would like to know more. We pick up phone messages daily on 01778 426756.
Advance bookings recommended for some activities. Please check details on individual activities.
Art for all
Art has a soothing and positive effect and participants tell us they feel a sense of achievement, some never having drawn or painted before.
Art for All is held at Wake House in Bourne every Monday morning between 11am-1pm. This is a small, supported art group for people living with dementia and their carers.
There’s no need to be an artist. We are all artistic in our own way so come along and explore your creativity.
There is no charge for this but we would appreciate a voluntary donation. Please contact us on 01778 426756 prior to your first visit or for further details.

Tai Chi
Our members have experienced increased mobility, better balance, better flexibility, improved breathing, pain and stress reduction and an improvement in general wellbeing. Importantly, the attendees feel a sense of achievement that they have taken part.
Tai Chi cannot take away dementia but it can improve the quality of life of both the carers and their partners.
Dementia Support South Lincs Tai Chi classes are held at Wake House in Bourne on Wednesday afternoons from 2pm to 3pm. Tai Chi has been adapted for people of all abilities and the classes are led by Ray Pawlett of KI-WAYS.
These classes are for those living with dementia and their carers. Attendees must be accompanied by a carer or family member.
