About The Activity Companions

---

The Activity Companions is a friendly, community-based service supporting older adults, people living with dementia, and their families across Somerset.

We create opportunities for people to stay socially connected, enjoy meaningful activities, build friendships, and remain active within their local community. Through our social clubs, companionship services, and community events, we provide welcoming spaces where people can feel valued, supported, and included.

We also recognise the vital role family carers play and aim to provide reassurance, support, and valuable respite opportunities whenever possible.

At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief: good company can make a real difference.

The Activity Companions offers a range of dementia-friendly services designed to support older adults, including those living with dementia, to stay connected, active, and engaged within their community.

Our services include:

• Social Club Days – Small, welcoming groups offering meaningful activities, conversation, refreshments, and a home-cooked lunch in a supportive environment.

• Community Coffee Mornings  – Relaxed and friendly gatherings where people living with dementia, family carers, friends, and community members can enjoy good company and social connection.

• One-to-One Companionship – Personalised companionship at home or in the community, tailored to individual interests, hobbies, and preferences.

• Dementia-Friendly Activities – Activities designed to promote wellbeing, confidence, reminiscence, creativity, and enjoyment for people living with dementia.

• Support for Family Carers -Providing opportunities for carers to take a break, access support, and enjoy peace of mind knowing their loved one is in a safe and welcoming environment.

People living with dementia are welcome to access all of our services, and we are committed to creating inclusive, understanding, and supportive experiences that focus on each person's abilities, interests, and strengths.

When you join The Activity Companions, you can expect a warm welcome, friendly faces, and a supportive environment where everyone is treated with dignity, kindness, and respect.

We believe that meaningful connection is just as important as meaningful activity. Whether attending our Social Club, joining a Coffee Morning, or using our Companionship Service, you can expect:

• Friendship, conversation, and companionship

• Activities tailored to individual interests and abilities

• Opportunities to stay active, engaged, and connected

• A relaxed, pressure-free atmosphere

• Experienced activity professionals who understand the importance of person-centred support
