Park Walks - Valentines Park, Redbridge
Channel: dementiaadventure
Date: 02/10/2014

People living with dementia and their carers both benefit from being able to get out in the open air and sunshine, with the sights, sounds and smells being relaxing and stimulating at the same time. People often report being able to sleep better after the walks, and have an increase in appetite too.

The walks are free to attend and individuals need to come with a carer or someone who knows them well. The walks are '"easy", suitable for people of all abilities and take place on wheelchair friendly paths so all are welcome. Feel free to bring family members, grandchildren and even dogs. 

These walks are ideal for local care home groups looking to join a supportive community walk.  We spend about an hour out walking, chatting, reminiscing and appreciating nature and people often stay for tea and cake or lunch after the walk.

Redbridge Park Walks 2014: These walks take place at Valentines Mansion, Emerson Rd, Ilford IG1 4XA and will take place every week on a Thursday at 11 am, starting on 22nd May. Call Gemma on 020 8708 0954 to book your free place or email gemma.tully@visionrcl.org.uk.
