Our main service is to provide activity-based workshops for people living with young onset dementia throughout the working week so that nobody feels isolated or alone. Examples of the age-appropriate activities we’ve delivered have included archery, cooking, climbing, equine therapy, and katakanuing. Our specialist team of support workers ensure there is a safe, fun and educational environment at each session, improving self-esteem, mood and cognition for participants.

Alongside running our daily workshops, one-to-one support and micro groups, we also deliver children’s groups, social events education & training and carer support.
YPWD is one of only a few dedicated services to this age group living with dementia in our region.
