St Eustachius
- Memory Trail
Project Description
The Arts Society is now broadening Trails to include Memory Trails for people living with Dementia. These trails will not have a question and answer sheet but a single sheet to guide people around a church with wording to prompt discussion and memories with carers. The wording has been created and approved by Dementia care professionals. A draft example has been added to the site for your information.
St Eustachius, Tavistock is our first completed Memory Trail and is being launched on the 25th May.
