Dementia Adventure connects people living with dementia with nature and a sense of adventure. We provide Training, Research, Consultancy and Adventures - all with Nature in Mind.

Thank you for your kind words Annie, glad you had another great adventure with us:)
Thank you very much Lucy and Neil. John my partner who is now only 55 and has had alzheimers for 3 years have now been with you last September sailing on Eve of St.Mawes and last week on your Isle of Man trip. Without your help and support we would not be able to go on these adventures, you can see from the videos how much we enjoyed them. Thank you so much and also thanks to Jesse,Trevor and Dave, who were all super.
Thanks Lucy and Neil ,my partner John who is now only 55 and has has Alzheimer’s for 3 years, cannot thank you enough for giving us this opportunity to have these adventures with your support. We were sailing on Eve of St.Mawes last Sept and your Isle of Man trip last week. Your videos show how much we enjoyed it thanks for ALL your help and support. I have also to mention Jesse,Trevor and Dave who all were just super.
Dear Neil and Lucy,
Thank you for your inspiring vision and for having the courage and determination to change what people think and feel is possible for people who are living with dementia. The sailing trip offers a metaphor for a more uplifting and connected voyage through dementia with relationships, participation and access to nature offering a way of being that is enriching for all. There is no doubt that the dementia journey is very traumatic but helping us all to see John and Alan as sailors not sufferers gives us a glimpse of a new way of responding which begins with acceptance and hope.
Imagine this schema being applied to the care that is given to people with dementia in residential environments – looking out not in.
Knowing you both as I do, I urge others who are new to the world of Dementia Adventure to throw yourselves in to invest time, take part, help and support – you will not regret it!
With warmest appreciation

Hi Neil and Lucy at Dementia Adventure,
I was in the process of catching up with work emails at the end of a weeks holiday and decided to make time to read your newsletter and watch the video about nature in mind. Stunning. In its simple message and the profound postive impact being in nature has on everyone and in particular those with dementia. I am so pleased you followed your heart and stepped up to deliver your dream of creating dementia adventure.
I wish you well on your amazing juorney as you take others with you back to the magic of nature and simple adventures in daily life.
Love and best wishes
Mark

Especially the enjoyment of nature, it should be encouraged and this is what is so exciting about Demenita Adventure, the message is positive, you are enabling this to be possible, to give the message of hope and enjoyment in life for people who have dementia . Please carry on the good work, and where we can we will spread the good word.
Well done Neil and Lucy
