We invite volunteers to train with us in our unique approach to supporting people living with dementia and their family members and friends.

For over 20 years, the European Reminiscence Network has led Remembering Yesterday, Caring Today groups that bring people’s memories to life – from schooldays and work, to travel and home life. Through art, music and conversation, we create a fun and welcoming space to spark joy and connection.

Sharing our past helps strengthen relationships in the present, brings new moments of laughter and friendship as well as supportive connections for the future.

Come along, get creative, share stories, and make new connections!
