Memory Connections are weekly community sessions for people living with mild to moderate memory loss.
Join us for activities, socialising and meaningful exercises aimed at promoting mental functioning and overall wellbeing.
About Memory Connections
Memory Connections supports people with low to moderate dementia to maintain their cognitive ability through stimulating activities and social engagement. Using Maintenance Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (MCST) which is designed to maintain memory skills, build confidence and offer opportunities for socialisation in a supportive environment, MCST is the only non-drug treatment recommended to improve cognition, independence and wellbeing by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
These weekly two-hour sessions incorporate a variety of activities, including arts and crafts, reminiscence therapy, quizzes, music, and movement, all aimed at promoting mental functioning and overall wellbeing.
After running the service for four years, Memory Connections transferred from Age UK Bristol in March 2025 and Alive are thrilled to continue the legacy of these groups.
It is a wonderful service you have given (my sister) over the months, which she has enjoyed very much.
Before I joined, I was a bit lonely during the day. Since I joined Alive, I am a lot happier and go out more. Thanks to you all.
The work and care you and your colleagues put into this is very much appreciated by us both.
Thank you for everything you do for my husband. He really enjoys it. Great group – very well run.
