The Virtual Dementia Tour is the only scientifically and medically proven method of giving a person with a healthy brain the experience of what dementia might be like. Invented over 23 years ago in America, the virtual Dementia Tour has been experienced by over 5 million people in 22 countries. The Virtual Dementia Tour has been available in the Uk for over 6 years and over 1 million people have participated in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Some of the organisation that have accessed this training are care providers, NHS trusts, Councils , Fire Services, Police, Prisons, Universities and many more. This inspirational training is changing the lives of so many including the amazing people that support people with dementia.

When a person that has dementia has finally been diagnosed, we must give the support team around them a true understanding of what they are experiencing and what they experience during their future dementia journey. The Virtual Dementia Tour is a vital bridge to entering their world, it is unlike any training course available and challenges the misconceptions surrounding dementia.

The Virtual Dementia Tour is available for your staff, families and anyone that comes in to direct or indirect contact with people living with dementia.

Who are we?

Two local Girls from Stevenston in North Ayrshire who share a passion for recycling reclaimed items such as textiles and small household furnishings. We have set up this non-profit Social Enterprise to share our work with others.

What do we do?

We create items such as bags, pouffes’, quilts and much more using reclaimed clothes, bedding and scrap materials that are reusable.

Why do we do it?

We want to share our passion for what we do with people across our communities to share the fun learning and open up new ideas to people who may have never considered using a sewing machine or recycling reclaimed items.

The benefits

Learning new skills, being creative is relaxing and rewarding its helpful to the environment and its great fun!

As part of the Girlguiding family we help girls aged 4 - 7 to become more resilient through completing badgework from 6 different themes. We are well known in the area for the opportunities we give girls. We always try to source businesses locally who can provide a variety of experiences for our girls and make coming to Rainbows fun as well as in unit activities.

Sensory gardens include features, surfaces, objects and plants that stimulate our senses through touch, sight, scent, taste and hearing.

They are places that can be designed with many different purposes in mind. They can be calming with scented plants and restful seating, an area for growing tasty food and for wildlife friendly plants, a therapeutic space for children and a learning zone full of exciting things to touch and smell.

Sensory gardens are of great benefit to children's health and well-being, the seasonal aspect of growing is educational and the validation in seeing your hard work come to fruition is wonderful. Starting children on their ecologically friendly through life.
