Dementia Active is a charity with an established track record in providing social activity groups for people with dementia
Dementia is an illness which can isolate people from former friends. The value of spending time with others who can share this sense of isolation cannot be overestimated.
● We aim to create a sense of community where no one need feel apologetic or uncomfortable about not being able to do those things which in the past would have been straightforward.
● Conversation is encouraged - both socially, particularly when people arrive and over lunch, but also in more structured reminiscence sessions.
● Group activities are opportunities to be playful.
● The benefits overall are raised energy levels and improved cognition.
We are delighted to announce Kevin Wilson, former professional footballer and manager, has become an ambassador for Dementia Active.
Kevin has strong connections to Banbury being born and raised here. He also started his career with Banbury United Football Club. He has enjoyed a long career playing for Ipswich Town, Chelsea, Notts County, Walsall and Northampton Town, amassing 740 appearances and 207 goals.
He was capped 42 times for Northern Ireland. Kevin has personal experience of a family member with dementia so was keen to become involved. With the increasing awareness of a potential risk of dementia through contact sport, Kevin has spoken at a number of sporting events on this subject recently.
We welcome Kevin and look forward to working with him.

As a carer to my husband it was a life saver. It gave me respite a window of time to do something for me, which otherwise does not exist when you are looking after a loved one day and night. For my husband it gave a him a little social time and interaction with other people, something stimulating, enjoyment. This is a very important service.
Peter loved attending Dementia Active, he even danced!, never done before!has always enjoyed singing, surprisingly knew words to most 60's songs. Always looked forward to Tuesdays and Fridays. Attending gave me 2x3hour sessions to myself during the week.
