Seaside photography
We took a small group of residents living with Dementia to the seaside and gave them disposable cameras and asked them to take pictures of things that make the seaside special. We got them developed and we often look at them and discuss the day out.

Golden Carers is just wonderful. An amazing resource shared all over the world. I use Golden carers on a daily basis and added with Pinterest, it just makes my job that little bit easier on those days when inspiration doesn't come easy. I love that there is always something new every time I look.
