RESIDENTS at Ingrams Meadow in Watchet embraced the spirit of giving this Christmas by donating £200 towards the Archie Project.

The inter-generational dementia awareness community project is designed to make towns and villages across the county dementia friendly. 

Children from Knights Templar School have been regularly visiting the residents at Ingrams Meadow to build relationships between the generations and to raise awareness of dementia.

Richard Cross, extra care scheme manager at Magna Housing, said: “Our elderly residents really enjoy the visits from the children.

“This month they all sang Christmas carols together, which was really lovely for everyone involved. 

“As it is such a valuable project for the community, our residents  donated £200 so that local schools could continue to learn about dementia.”
