Having expanded into Nuneaton and Warwick, Sky Blues in the Community is now looking for me people to get involved.

A CCFC spokesperson said: "The sessions offer a range of activities, such as: basketball, table tennis, quoits, archery, Jenga and badminton among many others.

"We support people with dementia to re-engage with activities they used to enjoy and meet people who have similar physical and cognitive difficulties.

"Sessions also act as respite for carers who are welcome to attend."
