- Offering drinks and friendly conversation
- Supporting group members to participate in activities
- Encouraging inclusion, especially for those who may be quieter or need extra reassurance
- Leading a small activity or helping with themed sessions, if interested

Each session is designed around Cognitive Stimulation Therapy principles and aims to provide mental stimulation, social engagement, and joy.
