Changing Perspectives on dementia and grief

Mental Health & Wellbeing

Welcome to Next Steps Together

We are a group of professionals, volunteers, and people with lived experience of dementia, grief and loss, all working together towards a common goal.

Our mission is to help you navigate the challenges and celebrate the moments of joy in dementia care within a supportive and understanding community.

Next Steps Together is a Community Interest Company (CIC) dedicated to enriching the lives of families affected by memory loss and dementia in the South Hams.

As a social enterprise, we prioritise purpose over profit, focusing on delivering impactful community services and initiatives.

Enrichment: Delivering creative, social and physical activity programmes in the community, like art therapy, interactive sensory enrichment sessions, memory cafés, and exercise classes.
Engagement: Connecting communities through meaningful activities to develop strong advocacy networks across the South Hams.
Empowerment: Providing therapies, tools and resources to foster self-care, independence, confidence and resilience.
Education: Offering workshops, support groups and online resources to deepen understanding of dementia, its impact, and care strategies.

Our Approach

Our philosophy is rooted in four core values – empowerment, education, engagement, and enrichment. We believe that everyone affected by dementia deserves access to social, educational, and wellbeing support to nurture and enrich their lives.

Our vision is to co-create an inclusive, dementia-friendly community across the South Hams that provides not just care but also a sense of dignity and belonging.
