Side by Side service
Side by Side is an Alzheimer’s Society service which helps people with dementia to keep
doing things they love with the support of a volunteer.
Our free one-to-one support makes it easier for people with dementia, who might
sometimes feel isolated or find it difficult to leave their homes, remain active and feel part
of their local community.
By doing things like going for a walk, to a football match, or joining a local class together,
our volunteers can support people with dementia to take up hobbies and get out and about.
What they do together is entirely based on what the person with dementia wants.
For more information, please contact Sue Button

U3A is an autonomous self-funding co-operative of older people which enables members to share
many educational, creative and leisure activities.
All members can take from it what they want, and give to it what they can contribute. Members,
through sharing their knowledge, skills and experience, learn from each other, meet new people,
make new friends and expand their world. Members drive the organisation and activities and this
gives us great freedom and independence to provide what YOU, the members, want.
The Open Meeting is held monthly, at 10.00am on the first Thursday of each month at Chilwell
Road Methodist Church, Chilwell Road, Beeston. There will normally be a guest speaker, and an
opportunity to find out about the Interest Groups that are available to members. Refreshments are

The web site gives contact information, details of Group activities, news from the Groups and how
to join. We also publish a newsletter which gives this information and copies are also available on
this site.
The annual subscription is currently £15. In addition each interest group has to be self financing

Dementia-friendly film screenings
Arts Derbyshire in partnership with QUAD, Public Health Amber Valley, Made in Derbyshire and
the Alzheimer's Society bring you dementia-friendly cinema screenings. Come and enjoy a familiar
musical, make friends over tea and cake, and enjoy fun activities and chat on the film's theme.
Matinee is a scheme making cinema accessible in community locations to those living with
dementia, their carers’, friends and family. We aim to provide those living with dementia something
enjoyable to do during the day, in a positive, friendly and welcoming environment.
Going to the cinema is a pastime that a huge proportion of the population enjoys, whatever their
background or wherever they live; it is a pastime that was a key feature for many people in this
age group (60-80+) in their younger years, in a time where it was rare to be able to watch films/TV
at home and there were fewer other affordable entertainments. It is also a pastime from a time in
their lives which people, even in later stages of dementia, are likely to be able to access mentally.

The men in sheds scheme
Men in Sheds is a project that supports older men who want to get together to share and learn
new wood-working skills. Age UK Notts provides the ‘shed’ – a workshop, tools and equipment

who choose the activities they want to participate in.
Shed members come from a wide variety of backgrounds ranging from highly skilled to beginners.
All work together and there is a role for everyone.
Members can put their skills to good use, share their knowledge, learn new skills and put the world
to rights over a cup of tea.
The products produced by the shed members are sold to help support the Men in Sheds project.
What are the benefits of joining this project?
Opportunities to socialise and make new friends
Experience the camaraderie of working with other men
Put practical skills to good use and share them with others
Try something new and learn new skills

Stepping Stones day care centre is a place where people from retirement can come to visit and
mingle with other friends to enjoy good company, tea and coffee, and a freshly cooked three
course meal.
Our services are open to any member of the public wanting to join in with our activities and we are
here to help families with that all important "rest bite" they quite often need by caring for your loved
ones while you take time out for yourself during the day.
There is much more to Stepping Stones than just a place to meet, residents can reminisce over
past times, make new friends and even join in on day or even week long trips away.
Stepping Stones Day Care Centre is a funded charity that cares for the elderly during the day by
providing transport facilities to our centre where beverages, hot meals, entertainment and
professional care is provided by qualified staff throughout their visit.
We have full facilities to cater for residents including adapted toilets, shower rooms, wheelchairs,
nutrition controlled menus, trained carers and most of all, a friendly smile.
We are fully registered as a charity and have all the insurances, health and safety requirements
and facilities required to operate a care centre. Even our meals are regulated to be fresh and
nutritious to our residents taking into account any dietary or allergy needs.
