Magic Moments
Outside the Box is a small, independent charity which provides development support to groups and people across Scotland who want to make a difference in their communities.
They recently completed an evaluation for Life Changes Trust of the six ‘Get Outdoors’ projects they have funded, by collecting Magic Moments
The Get Outdoors projects have different focuses – from tool sheds to wildlife conservation to sports – and encourage people living with dementia and their unpaid carers to be more active and spend time outside.
It was clear spending time outside had real benefits for people living with dementia and their carers – and the Magic Moments show how this happens. The Magic Moments show different themes – like removing stigma, and increased physical ability – but most importantly they show how these were felt, interpreted and experienced by the people involved.
