An art exhibition is set to be held to celebrate the first anniversary of a dementia hub.

The Ness Dementia Hub, in Exmouth, has been serving the community for a year, providing vital support to those living with dementia and their families.

The hub offers a wide range of services including day services, support groups, therapy sessions, and educational workshops.

To mark its first anniversary, the hub is hosting a special event, featuring Mindflow: The Dementia Art Exhibition.

This exhibition will showcase the creative expressions of iIt 

The event is scheduled to take place on September 26, from 2.30pm to 5.30pm, at The Ness Hub, Exmouth.

The Mindflow exhibition, led by visual artist Paul Stretton-Stephens, is a collection of fusion hybrid artwork created by 12 people living with dementia.

The exhibition aims to highlight the therapeutic power of art, providing a platform for individuals to express their emotions, memories, and experiences through various creative compositions.

Prints of the artwork, calendars, and cards will be on sale to raise funds for the National Brain Appeal.

Jonathan Hanbury, director of The Ness Care Group, said: "We’re thrilled to celebrate our first anniversary with an event that truly embodies the spirit of the Ness Dementia Hub.

"The Mindflow exhibition not only showcases the incredible talent of our participants but also underscores the importance of creative expression in dementia care.

"It’s a testament to the resilience and creativity of our community."

The anniversary celebration will also include refreshments, a bake-off, singing, and crafts.

There will be opportunities for the public to engage with the Ness team, view the artwork, and learn more about dementia.

The Ness Dementia Hub invites everyone in the community to join in this first birthday celebration of art, resilience, and community spirit.

The hub has become a vital resource for those navigating the challenges of dementia, fostering a community of care and understanding, and helping to improve the quality of life for individuals with memory loss and dementia, as well as their caregivers.
