STAFF  at a family-run farm shop in Somerset have completed training to ensure they can provide a dementia-friendly experience for visitors who need it.

The team members at Rumwell Farm Shop, which is located on the A38 between Taunton and Wellington, received the training from dementia charity, Reminiscence Learning in Wellington, which is one of its charities of the year.

Anne Mitchell, joint owner of the award-winning farm shop explained: “Our customer service is a top priority for us and as we are supporting Reminiscence Learning this year, we thought it only right that our staff receive this special training to ensure they can cater for anyone with dementia who might visit us and ensure they have the same experience here that everyone has.”

Fiona Mahoney, chief executive of dementia charity Reminiscence Learning said: “The staff were very interested and engaged throughout the training and they have already acted on their newfound knowledge. They are proudly displaying the dementia friendly logos in the window, and I know all their staff will make everyone in the community feel comfortable.”
