FAB - Fun at Berkshire College of Agriculture

This FABulous 'ADS' Service was created especially for People with Dementia and their Carers. We have a unique partnership with Berkshire College of Agriculture which are giving us their full support in the creation and delivery of this Service.

The session is delivered by the Students, with the activities customised to each person, including the supported use of crafts, cooking, games and a magic table. The sessions end with a short sing-along.

The FABulous Service - Fun & Activities at BCA is a part of the students' curriculum, giving them the opportunity to build up their practical experience. With their teachers' support, but also with the help of the 'ADS' Team, they are in work with the People with Dementia and their Carers during the entire session.

This Service takes place at the Berkshire College of Agriculture new Health Science Building​. The entire venue is Dementia friendly​ and includes:​

• Easy access & parking​

• Lift

• Activity rooms​

• Café​

• Adapted kitchen & life-skills room​

• Private conversation room​

Carers are able to join in the Service or take some time to chat with the other Carers or with the students in an on-site Café. They can also have private discussions with the 'ADS' Advisors, or even take a walk in the surrounding beautiful grounds.

Pre-booking is essential as the number of participants is limited. This is not a drop-in Service, so if you would like to join please contact Terrie Hall on 07516 165647 or via e-mail at terrie.hall@alzheimersdementiasupport.co.uk.
