Age Exchange was founded in Blackheath in 1983, with the vision of harnessing the power of reminiscence to improve the health and wellbeing of people. The charity had a revolutionary idea - creativity and conversations can connect with people living with dementia in incredible ways and in doing so, change their lives for the better. Whilst a person’s ability to communicate with words may decline with the development of dementia, art and creativity is a universal joy and a tool for self-expression that remains, even as the condition progresses.

As a charity we rely on our incredible volunteers.

Our unique approach to dementia intervention has an incredible impact of quality of life, helping people to rediscover their voice, their ability to dance or simply to have fun again.

Age Exchange has created many inspiring art projects across the generations.

We offer specialist training and consultancy services to deliver our Reminiscence Arts practice in your workplace or community.
