SpringTime
a sensory story supporting people living with dementia to connect with nature

Following the success of our first sensory story which helped people living with dementia and their carers in care homes across Bristol, Weston and Dorset to enjoy a imaginary trip to the beach, we're delighted to be making a second sensory story in March 2021.

We're working again with Bristol artist Suzy Furse who will make images that capture the natural delights of a British Spring. Suzy also made the images for the sensory story "Beside the Sea".

We'll also be making immersive soundtracks and gathering sensory items. These SpringTime sensory story kits will be loaned to two care homes in Weston for 3 months, then collected and shared with other care homes in the area so the work reaches as many people as possible.

This work has been supported by the National Lottery Community Fund.
