The Blue Flamingo was founded by Erin Singleton, in response to her personal experience of caring for her mother-in-law who lives with mixed dementia. If you'd like to learn more about how this experience shaped the body of work Erin created for her Master's Degree, you can read about it here.

Session Photos
Below are some photos from some of our sessions. Some of these photos were taken in the early days of The Blue Flamingo. As you scroll through, you'll see just how much it's grown since we launched in November 2021!
Day Out Photos
These are some photos from two of our recent trips to Formby where National Trust Ranger, Chris Hunter, took us on dementia-friendly guided walks through. We try to provide at least four trips per year to our members. Like our other activities, there is no charge to attend these days out.
