2025 Borders Discovery Days

Overview

Supported by Alzheimer Scotland in partnership with museum and cultural services in the Scottish Borders. Opportunities to explore history and culture have been found to offer a range of benefits to people living with dementia. We are delighted to offer 7 dementia-friendly sessions across the Scottish Borders in 2025 partnering with many great venues to provide a programme exploring our many historic sites, museums and exhibitions. These sessions are for people living with a diagnosis. Should people need support to participate, they should attend with support. Family members/ carers are welcome to attend with their family member. Booking is required for all sessions as places are limited.
