As our population ages, the need for compassionate, community-based dementia support has never been greater. That’s where Beacon Dementia and Wellbeing, based in Rossendale, steps in—offering a lifeline to individuals living with dementia and their carers through innovative, person-centred care.
🌟 What Is Beacon Dementia and Wellbeing?
Beacon Dementia and Wellbeing is a local charity committed to improving the lives of older adults affected by dementia, loneliness, or isolation. Operating in the heart of Rossendale, Beacon provides a safe, welcoming space where people can connect, create, and thrive.
Whether you’re a carer seeking support or someone living with dementia looking for meaningful engagement, Beacon offers a range of services designed to promote independence, dignity, and wellbeing.
🧩 Services That Make a Difference
Beacon’s approach is rooted in community and creativity. Here’s how they’re making an impact:
- The Beacon Shed: Located behind The Whitaker Museum, this dementia-friendly space offers hands-on activities like gardening, woodworking, and crafting—proving that dementia doesn’t define capability.
- Wellbeing Sessions: Regular group activities encourage social interaction, mental stimulation, and emotional support.
- Carers’ Support Groups: Monthly meetups (in-person and online) provide a vital network for carers to share experiences and access expert guidance from accredited dementia coaches.
- Creative Workshops: From art to music, Beacon’s workshops help participants express themselves and rediscover joy.
