Calling NHS Dementia volunteers ... Free gift for September

Being a volunteer, a patient visitor or carer is a kind and generous act. But sometimes it can become difficult to initiate or develop conversations with people who have dementia. Visits may feel meaningless or lack enjoyment for both parties. Happy Days picture and text prompts may help to fill the gap.

Light-weight, wipeable, easy to store, these interesting picture prompts can be helpful when engaging with our elders, patients or someone living with dementia.

Prompting memory often helps people to recall stories from their past and begin to interact with the people around them. Joining in with people and sharing stories can help to validate life, become an enjoyable pastime and beneficial to a sense of well-being.

So, if you are a hospital volunteer or work for an organisation who may find Happy Days memory prompts, themed memory boxes, sorting boxes, memorabilia and more beneficial to patients and volunteers, please contact me for multi purchase discounts.
