We've got Carers Week here at Crowsmill. Just fill us in on what's happening here to mark that week.
00:06
So our offering for Carers Week, we were approached by the council, a lovely lady called Jo Weaver-Jackson
00:13
to support carers and carees who are suffering with dementia.
00:19
So we said we'd put on workshops in the morning and afternoon for people to come and bring their loved ones
00:26
or the people they're caring for, and we would do some activities, whether it was gardening, woodwork, jewellery making.
00:34
Just to offer the carers some respite if they wanted it, but equally just to provide some meaningful activities
00:42
for the people who are suffering with dementia.
00:45
And that's what you're all about here down at Crowsmill, isn't it? It's all about rehabilitation of people
00:49
with various things really, dementia, mental health, and using...
00:54
What are some of the things you have going on here? We've got woodwork going behind you.
00:57
Yeah, so we've got the woodwork going on where they've started off making a bird box today.
01:02
Helen's outside doing some gardening, Jan's in the mouse house doing some driftwood workshops.
01:09
Sarah's also doing some jewellery making, so there's lots of different things going on.
01:14
So lots of choice, which is a big thing we like to do here, is anyone who comes here gets the choice
01:19
to go in whichever workshop they want to go in.
01:23
And Shelagh, Derek's your better half. He is.
01:27

01:39
It makes a change because I'm watching the jewellery too.
01:42

01:45
And Derek's certainly enjoying himself. You said he was engrossed, didn't you?
01:49
