A community approach to dementia support in Shropshire

On Tuesday, 16 June, Theatre Severn hosts the See Hear Remember exhibition. This free event is a vital resource for families affected by dementia. It brings together local and national organisations to provide a “one-stop-shop” for advice, diagnosis support, and practical care solutions.

Expert guidance for families and carers

Dementia support is available throughout the venue. Visitors can speak with specialists about medical, social, and emotional needs.

• Admiral Nurses (Dementia UK): Provides specialist nursing support to help families manage the complex needs of a dementia diagnosis.
• Alzheimer’s Society: Offers advice and social connection services to help people live well with dementia.
• DASS Memory Service: An NHS service providing assessments and post-diagnostic support.
• PALZ (Professionals with Alzheimer’s): Offers a stimulating environment for people who held professional roles, focusing on intellectual engagement.
• Shrewsbury Town Foundation: Runs a Dementia Hub with activities such as walking football and crafts to keep people active and social.
• Hug World: Showcases the HUG sensory product; this is a weighted, interactive device designed to reduce anxiety and provide comfort.
• Cavalier Centre: Provides “Tea with a Pony” sessions; these interactions can help stimulate memories and improve wellbeing.
• Ethical Workforce Solutions: Provides specialist “Experiencing Dementia” training to help families understand the sensory changes their loved ones face.
