Many people who enjoy nature and the countryside want to continue their enjoyment of walking but feel they and their loved ones would benefit from doing so in the company of others who understand the issues they are facing after a dementia diagnosis. Both people with dementia and their carers are welcome at our inclusive activity groups.
Joan, one of the members of the Wednesday Wanderers group was featured in a video for Active Cornwall. Find out what she thinks about our walking groups.
Bude sensory nature group
We meet fortnightly in the Bude area on Friday mornings and take part in a nature activities, such as foraging or felting. We often meet at St Andrew’s church in Stratton for a walk or activity followed by tea and biscuits. Other walks still include Crooklets Beach and the canal.
Paul nature group
We meet fortnightly on Tuesday mornings. We partly based at the St Pol de Leon church gardens but also do walks around the Penzance area as well as enjoying frequent coffee and crafts at Newlyn Gallery. We are a relaxed group who enjoy exploring our local area as well as taking part in craft and nature-based activities.
Wednesday Wanderers with Leach Pottery
We meet fortnightly on Wednesday mornings in the St Ives area. We are part based at the Leach pottery and enjoy a ceramics session there once a month. The rest of the time we enjoy walks around the St Ives, Hayle and Penzance area looking for inspiration for our ceramic work.
