Froglife’s Leaping Forward for Dementia, proudly supported by the City Bridge Trust, empowers people living with dementia and their support network to safely access the benefits of nature and the outdoors. We offer weekly wildlife gardening and nature inspired creative workshops across Lambeth.
The Archbishop’s Park pond is full of Smooth Newts, just minutes from Westminster !
Our weekly wildlife workshops are called Wild Times- dementia friendly nature on prescription. Wild Times welcome the whole community, but sessions are particularly suitable for people living with a dementia, their support network, and people looking to improve their health, wellbeing and confidence.
