Mrs Victoria Hutchinson, Sensory Trust

I have worked on our dementia programme (called Creative Spaces) since 2009 and love seeing how valued it is by the hundreds of people who have attended over the years. I am particularly interested in approaches to evaluation which encourage everyone to participate and share their opinions.

Strengths I bring: nature connections, inclusive, community-based

What I would like the network to achieve: I’m looking forward to connecting with other community groups, people with lived experience and researchers – sharing our mutual knowledge and improving care networks.

Sensory Trust runs a programme of nature-based activity groups for people living with dementia and their carers across Cornwall, connecting people to nature through walking, environmental and creative activities. www.sensorytrust.org.uk
