The project would take people with dementia and their carers on a series of reminiscence day trips around East Devon. The trips would enable older people suffering from dementia to re-live their experiences of yesteryear in a theatrical, lively and fun way on a specially equipped vintage double-decker bus. The memories would be recorded and later made into memory books. This project is brought to you by Age UK Devon, in conjunction with Ruth Darvill, psychologist, and working with the Honiton Memory Cafe.
