“We know that a lot of people, particularly older people, and people with dementia or cognitive impairment and their families, can find it difficult to get out and about to places that they love. It’s really important for people to enjoy being outdoors and benefit from the experience.
The ENLIVEN programme was all about making this easier for older people with dementia or cognitive impairment and their families. We wanted to work with people who managed outdoor spaces and looked after outdoor spaces to see how we could make those spaces more accessible for people, and that’s what this programme was all about.”
