Effro: changing perceptions of dementia
Changing perceptions of dementia.

At Effro, we believe that recognising the needs, preferences and individuality of each person living with dementia creates opportunities for a better life. we work with individuals to explore the things they’re interested in. We provide a safe and supportive framework for people living with dementia to focus on the most enjoyable aspects of their lives: reflecting on happy memories, revisiting favourite places and reigniting personal passions.

We offer a variety of support services to individuals living with dementia in communities throughout South Wales, and provide practical advice and resources to support anyone looking to provide activities or group sessions for people living with dementia.
