The sessions will be measured to ensure what we do makes a difference to someone’s mental health and quality of life.
They also offer much needed respite for the family and carers.

We understand that for some people this will be a new experience, which is why we offer the first session for FREE. This will enable you to experience the benefits of our sessions for yourself, as well as familiarise yourself with our team and the ways in which we work. We can visit you at home first to have a chat about the service.
The the Seachange Hub we are able to offer transport within the East Devon area for those who may struggle to get to the venue – The Hub will collect your loved one and drop them home after a session!
Please contact us for more information, to arrange your free trial session or for a home visit.
To get signed up for one of our sessions, please phone the SEACHANGE Reception, Jonathan Hanbury or the East Devon Coordinator from The Ness Care Group . Before you attend a session, we would like to talk to the family or social worker to gauge the individual’s cognitive ability, interests and personality so that we match them with a group at a similar level.
Every family will get the first session free so they can assess us and get a good insight into what we do. After the first session we aim to create a routine, encouraging the individual to come along on the same day(s) each week.
Note: We are ‘covid safe’ and follow a number of precautions and safety measures. More info.
We would love to hear from you. Whether you are looking to book a free trial or would like to learn more about our care partnerships. Fill in this form and our team will be in touch.
