Corstorphine Dementia Project

Corstorphine Dementia Project is a warm, person-centred day centre for local people living with varying stages of dementia. For the last few years, poet and translator Ken Cockburn has been running a beautiful series of weekly poetry sessions there with a focus on reminiscence and wellbeing to stimulate cognitive function and act as a catalyst for meaningful conversations among the group.
