Welcome to Activity Circle
Meaningful activities, made easier
Activity Circle was created to make it easier for carers, activity coordinators, families and community teams to provide thoughtful, engaging activities without spending hours preparing them.
We create practical, ready-to-use resources that can help encourage conversation, reminiscence, creativity, participation and connection.
Our resources are designed to be flexible, so they can be adapted to the interests, abilities and experiences of the people taking part.
Why Activity Circle exists
Activities should be about more than simply keeping someone occupied.
​
A familiar song can start a conversation. A photograph can bring back a memory. A simple creative activity can give someone an opportunity to contribute, make choices or spend meaningful time with another person.
​
We want to make those moments easier to create.
​
That means producing resources that are practical for busy care teams, easy to use and respectful of the adults taking part.
Created with real care settings in mind
Activity Circle resources are developed with the realities of care environments in mind.
​
Our content is reviewed with the support of a Registered Care Home Manager, Dementia Expert and previous Activities Coordinators helping us ensure that our resources remain practical, respectful and appropriate for use with people living with dementia.
​
We aim to create activities that can work across care homes, day centres, community groups and home settings, whether they are being used with a group or one-to-one.
Our approach
We believe good activities should support:
​
-
Conversation and connection
-
Choice and participation
-
Reminiscence and identity
-
Creativity and enjoyment
-
Familiarity and confidence
-
Meaningful time together​
​
There is no single activity that will suit everyone.
​
Our resources are designed to give you a starting point that you can adapt to the individual, rather than expecting the individual to adapt to the activity.
Our mission
To make it easier to create better moments for people living in care.
​
We want Activity Circle to become a useful library of practical resources that saves preparation time while supporting meaningful, person-centred engagement.
​
No complicated setup. No unnecessary jargon.
​
Just useful resources you can pick up and use.
