Butterflies Dementia Support and Activities Group
My Story
I cared for my dad who had dementia and I wanted his later years of his life to be as happy and full of laughter as possible. I formed Butterflies over 10 year ago as I believe passionately that remaining active kept my dad who he was. At times I have found this quite challenging, however it does not need to be. I use my own experience to plan trips and events that are suitable for people living with dementia and this progressed to integrating people with any illness, people who are socially isolated. We strongly believe everyone regardless of barriers put in front of them can lead as much of a normal lifestyle as possible . The end result of our organised trips gives people who come along have something to look forward to and above all a day or a few days for all to enjoy.
