Health walks are weekly walks that take place around Aberdeen City. Delivered by fully trained staff, these inclusive, dementia-friendly walks aim to break down barriers and improve physical and mental wellbeing. Walking outdoors encourages positive mental health and tackles social isolation whilst also giving an opportunity to get active and connect with others.

Football Memories is an inclusive project which runs in partnership with Memories Scotland and Alzheimer Scotland. The project allows individuals living with dementia and memory impairments a safe space to be themselves. By looking at old football memorabilia and past games, participants are encouraged and empowered to have a voice and join in with conversations around a common interest. We are privileged to be supported by former players who regularly join our sessions.
Music Memories is a dementia friendly programme based around reminiscence and will focus around making ‘new memories’ and helping people living with dementia to feel and live better. The focus of the programme is to empower people living with dementia to engage through participation and enjoyment of specially tailored music. Music evokes strong emotions which brings back memories when listening to music from throughout the years, helping people to reconnect.
The Changing Room, delivered in partnership with SAMH, promotes men’s mental health and wellbeing through the power of football. The programme brings together men aged 30-64 to help them self-manage their own mental health whilst giving them access to a strong support network. The course uses football, along with a variety of other activities such as walking football and walk n talks, to explore areas that may challenge them.
*New cohort starting late 2026*
