The Birch Dementia Centre has opened its doors in The Scaurs.
The Birch is a community engagement and activity day care centre for people living with the illness in North Somerset.
Day care provision at the Birch includes a programme aimed at those not ready for a traditional care environment.
Sessions are built around attendees themselves, and through detailed discussions with individuals, provide a direct link with their own hobbies and interests.

Director Charlotte Coetzee said: “Our open day was really positive and we had plenty of interest. The Mayor and Mayoress of Weston came along and were really supportive and encouraging which was great.”
