We're working towards a world where people are better connected to each other and to their place. We believe that promoting our twin values of connectedness and equity of opportunity lies at the heart of helping our communities find their own, local solutions to loneliness and social isolation, environmental regeneration, reducing crime and anti-social behaviour and building community cohesion.
WHAT IS A SQUILOMETRE?
First off - we made the word up! Please don't be alarmed if you haven't come across it before!
It just means that it operates within (roughly) one square kilometre. It's our way of committing to a particular community, in a particular place. It's a technique, developed by Interwoven, to help CONNECT PEOPLE TO PEOPLE - AND PEOPLE TO PLACE. We've been refining this technique since 2014 and it is under continual reflective review.

Memory Matters SW CIC is a Community Interest Company (CIC). We trade for public benefit rather than private gain and all of our projects and services are designed, developed and built on the needs of those affected by dementia. We are a team of dedicated individuals who share an ethos of compassion, kindness, fun and curiosity. The team is led by Co-Founders Kate and Laura, qualified nurses and social entrepreneurs. We are champions of Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST); a therapy proven to slow the progression of dementia and increase quality of life. We weave this into our services with the guidance of the very people we serve. Our aim is to work closely with individuals and relevant agencies and organisations in the South West to reach a time where every person who receives a diagnosis of dementia, has access to the correct support, which will help them to live well with their dementia. They also run Moments Café based in the heart of Plymouth City Centre. We offer a safe environment for people to meet, eat and socialise, and even hire spaces and ask advice on all things dementia.

We offer workshops and courses to support parents and children to build a lifelong healthy relationship with food.
There’s nothing better than sitting around the table as a family, enjoying a meal together where the atmosphere is relaxed and sociable - the whole family feels nourished nutritionally and emotionally.
But children today are growing up in a world where the number one factor for poor health is diet, causing more illness than even smoking. Fussy and picky eating is on the increase, leading to narrow food choices and a limited diet. In the UK 1 in 10 children aged 2-10 is reported to be obese.
And fewer and fewer families are eating together.
Yet, a child that experiences regular family meals is more likely to feel secure, have better social skills and self esteem, eat more fruit and vegetables, do better at school and less likely to experience mental health issues.
Nourishing Families recognises, too, that beyond eating together there are many things that parents and caregivers can do to support healthy food habits in children.
The Nourishing Families Parents Programme offers the opportunity to stop, think, choose and implement changes in a structured, supportive and non-judgemental environment, using a range of exercises and techniques.
