What we do

Cognitive Stimulation Therapy, or CST for short, is a specific programme of group activity and stimulation suitable for use with people who are living with dementia or experiencing memory loss (aged 55+). Through the programme, we aim to slow the progression of dementia and improve the quality of your life, enhance your ability to communicate and help boost your mood. There will be up to six people in each group, along with the group leader and assistant. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the idea is to have fun and get to know the other group members, as well as benefit from the activities. Sessions always begin with a coffee or tea and a chat. After that, there will be an activity which is designed to stimulate different areas of the brain each week. These activities are geared to what you, as an individual, feel comfortable doing.
