Dementia Friendly

Theatre That Cares

At Cast, we design warm and creative experiences for people living with dementia and their carers.

Our dementia-friendly activities are relaxed, joyful, and accessible. Our sessions may include live music, sing-alongs, and gentle movement. They help foster connection and enhance well-being.

We offer a friendly space to chat, share stories, and enjoy a warm drink. With trained staff and a calm, welcoming atmosphere, everyone can join in at their own pace.

It’s all about feeling safe, included, and part of something special.

“From my perspective.... Cast’s Dementia Cinema is our favourite place to visit. Knowing our residents can be themselves, with no judgement. They are treated like VIPs. I often recommend it.”
