Turning the Cogs
Donation protected
Hi my name is Phillippa Hodge and I run a Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) group in Launceston.
The group is for people who want to "take their brain to the gym" focusing on those who have early signs of memory difficulties or the early signs of dementia.
Using CST principles, the aim is to create opportunities for group members to participate in activities designed to encourage thought processes, the use of memory and social interaction. This is done through visual stimulation, quizzes and music
I am passionate in supporting people living with cognitive difficulties, having had relatives with dementia and been a personal carer for several years.
I have been trained in CST and worked with charities training facilitators and running groups in the North East of Cornwall.
Through illness I can no longer work but have resurrected Turning the Cogs funding the group myself.
It is now getting difficult to finance the group and I am looking for funds to keep this valuable group going.
One thousand pounds would fund the group for 18 months and enable me to buy important materials and activities designed for people with cognitive difficulties.
