The Food Partnership have offered therapeutic food activities for people with dementia for over a decade. From spring 2025 onwards, we are not able to continue these groups – find out more about our campaign & fundraising work to support people living with dementia.
If you are interested in joining these activities in future, you can still complete the application form below and we will contact you if we are able to restart this project. Or find out more about support & activities for people living with dementia in Brighton & Hove.
How it works
Participants and carers can join the groups directly, or be referred through professionals such as the Memory Assessment Service and Ageing Well Brighton & Hove. The sessions are suitable for those with mild to moderate dementia, or other memory issues, and a supportive family member or friend is welcome to attend alongside if needed. Sessions are delivered by skilled staff and trained volunteers.
I noticed an improvement since the beginning – she is more outgoing with other people and now initiates conversations… She is really happy… It has really helped her with socialising.
