Nurturing connections, enriching lives
Welcome to Golden Years and Growing Minds. We are dedicated to creating a supportive and inclusive community where older adults, individuals living with dementia, their families, and carers can thrive. Discover our meaningful activities, wellbeing sessions, and one on one care gives opportunities for social connection.
🌿 Our support is built around people
At Golden Years & Growing Minds, we believe everyone deserves to feel valued, included and connected.
We provide a welcoming space for older adults, people living with dementia and their families, offering opportunities for social connection, meaningful activities, wellbeing and companionship.
Our support can include day centre activities, nutritious meals and refreshments, social groups, one-to-one support and outings, with activities adapted around each person's interests, abilities and needs.
Whether you are looking for a little more companionship, support for a loved one, or simply somewhere friendly to spend time, we are here to help.
No two people are the same, so we take the time to get to know each person and make their experience personal to them.
Our compassionate support
At Golden Years and Growing Minds, we offer a range of specialised services designed to promote emotional wellbeing, reduce social isolation, and encourage cognitive stimulation. Our approach is centered on understanding and responding to your unique needs, providing effective and practical solutions in a safe and welcoming environment.
Meaningful activities

Wellbeing sessions
Our sessions are crafted to support emotional wellbeing and physical health, helping individuals feel valued, respected, and engaged. We prioritize a holistic approach to care.
Social connection
Combat social isolation by joining our community-focused events. Strengthen intergenerational relationships and build lasting friendships in an inclusive environment.
We provide dedicated support and understanding for individuals living with dementia, their families, and carers. Our programmes are designed with compassion and expert knowledge.
🧠 Dementia Support
Compassionate support for people living with dementia and their families
At Golden Years & Growing Minds, we understand that dementia affects everyone differently. Our aim is to create a calm, supportive environment where people can continue to enjoy meaningful activities, social connection and moments of independence.
We take the time to get to know each person — their interests, routines, likes, dislikes and what matters to them.
💜 Person-centred support
No two people experience dementia in exactly the same way.
We adapt our approach around the individual, taking account of their abilities, interests, communication style and changing needs.
Our activities are offered without pressure, allowing each person to participate at their own pace.
🌸 Meaningful activities
We believe activities should be enjoyable and have meaning to the individual.
Depending on people's interests and abilities, activities may include:
🎵 Music and singing
🧩 Puzzles and memory games
🎨 Arts and crafts
🌱 Gardening and nature
📖 Reminiscence and conversation
🍰 Baking and cooking
🎲 Games and gentle group activities
☕ Social time and refreshments
🚶 Gentle outings and community activities
Activities can be adapted so that everyone has the opportunity to take part.
🤝 Supporting families and carers
Dementia can affect the whole family, not just the person living with the condition.
We want families and carers to feel listened to and supported. We provide opportunities to talk about individual needs, discuss what might help and explore the support we can offer.
Where appropriate, family members and carers can also be involved in activities and visits.
🏡 A calm and welcoming environment
We understand that unfamiliar environments can sometimes feel overwhelming.
We take time to welcome people, introduce them to the space and help them become comfortable. We aim to create an environment where people feel safe, respected, included and valued.
🌿 Support that is tailored to the individual
Before someone starts with us, we'd like to have an informal conversation to understand their needs and what they enjoy.
This helps us consider things such as:
Their interests • Their routines • Their communication • Their abilities • Their support needs • What makes them feel comfortable
We can then work with the individual and their family to provide support that feels right for them.
💕 You don't have to navigate it alone
Whether you're looking for social activities, companionship, day support or simply want to find out more about what we offer, we're happy to have a conversation.
No formal diagnosis or referral is required to contact us.
We welcome families and carers to get in touch for an informal conversation and, where appropriate, arrange a visit to see our environment before deciding whether our service is suitable.
