WHAT'S ON?

The sofa can feel like an appealing place to stay when it's cold and dreary outside! However it is even more important than ever to make a conscious effort to stay active and get out and about.

Staying active reduces the risk of developing dementia by 30% and can delay the onset of disability and frailty. We have lots to help you keep active!

Hear how storyteller, Martin Maudsley, and poet, Sarah Acton, were inspired to put the Seasons of Stories Autumn book together.
