Lights Up - support for those with dementia & their carers (Guideposts)
What is Lights Up ?

Activities include:

- Music, singing, drama & dance
- Reminiscence;
- Reading and poetry
- Social outings (e.g. theatre, cinema)
Lights Up also offers specialist dementia information, advice, and guidance.
Sessions are led by dementia specialists and dementia trained local artists.
