Local ceramicist Robbie Manning hosted a 2-day workshop with the PSS Dementia Befriending Service, teaching service users to create simple pots and sculptures. They were then fired in a kiln and put on permanent display at the PSS head office.
The PSS Dementia Befriending Service provides basic assistance to people with dementia and their carers. It gives people with dementia the opportunity to meet new people, try new things and develop a new social group. For those who care for someone with dementia it gives the time to go out and do some shopping, meet some friends or do other things they might not usually be able to.
