Sole Bay Dementia Support

We’re here to keep you up to date with the progress of making Southwold and the surrounding villages a positive place to live with dementia.

This project is funded by Sole Bay Care Fund and supported by our local councils, police, health centre and many many groups. If you are a business, club, or group or an individual, we can provide you with support, training and information. We hope to be recognised for our work by becoming a Dementia Friendly Town.

The Herbert Protocol

If you or your loved one, a friend or neighbour has dementia and you are worried that 'walking purposefully' may lead to perhaps getting lost or not knowing someones whereabouts, we would like to make sure that the Herbert Protocol is in place.

This is a personal file, kept at home and on your health records, to help us look for you/your loved one should you go missing.

We use this at Sole Bay Health Centre, contact us if you would like to know more

Music for The Mind

Below is a little bit of film and photos showing how music unlocks so much in the mind.

A wonderful afternoon spent with 'Out of Nowhere', celebrating BBC Music Day. Not the best film, and it won't win any Oscars, but actually the rewards, emotions and joy this afternoon gave us was extraordinary.

An afternoon we will never forget. Thank you Mindy (Dementia Uk-/Sole Bay care funded Admiral Nurse), those carers that came and supported, those shops and friends that provided refreshments.

Thank you to those that continue to support Sole Bay Care Fund, our community made this happen.

Thank you so much.
