Description
All of our new Tailored Learning courses are matched to one of seven 'purposes' which have been designed by the Department for Education to recognise the wider benefits of learning.
This course will help you to maintain or improve your mental health and wellbeing.
Dementia pottery gives you the opportunity to develop new skills while socialising with others facing similar challenges. Sessions are designed so that everyone can feel involved, even if dementia is more progressed.
