SUNshiners

SUNShiners is a friendly, relaxed, all-inclusive group of people in the early stages of dementia based in the Dover, Deal and the Shepway area.

They make a difference by:

Reducing stereotypes by raising awareness with the public
Helping to improve the NHS by assisting with staff training, evaluating memory services and commenting on plans for future service developments
Getting involved with research and assisting with the planning of future research projects.

The groups take place at Palmarsh Hall, Hythe, Kent, CT21 6NG on the first Thursday of every month from 2pm until 4pm.

If you would more information, or to come along, please get in touch.

Introducing SUNshiners

A horse on the beach

Looking back, I can trace it

Winter's approach

And I practised

I'm like a mermaid
