Dementia-friendly Walks for All
In 2019, the AONB Team launched a pilot project which saw a weekly programme of short guided walks for people living with dementia and their carers, offering them the opportunity to be able to continue to enjoy our beautiful landscapes, wildlife and culture and to benefit from the support of walking with others.
Thanks to funding from Morecambe Bay Partnership, we were able to offer specialist training by the charity Dementia Adventure to volunteer walks leaders. The walks took about an hour and there was always a chance for a chat and a cuppa afterwards in one of the local cafes.
This pilot initially ran for 6 months and following a full evaluation we were delighted to announce that the project would continue after a short winter break and would be opened up to anyone who would like the support of the group.
If you would like to volunteer or just to know a bit more about the project, please contact the AONB office on 01524 761034.
