Welcome to Simon’s CST Activities - a free and open access resource created to support people living with dementia, their families, carers and activity providers.
Built with kindness, creativity and years of hands-on experience, the website is designed to help bring people together through meaningful conversation, music, reminiscence, quizzes, singalongs and themed cognitive stimulation activities.
Whether you are supporting someone at home, in a care setting or in the community, you’ll find hundreds of ready-to-use ideas created to encourage connection, confidence, enjoyment and quality of life.
From seasonal activities, memory quizzes and discussion topics to creative session ideas, everything is designed with warmth, dignity and accessibility in mind.
At the heart of the project is a simple belief: that small moments of stimulation, laughter, music and shared memories can make a real difference.
You are very welcome here.
Please also take a look at my sister site CST Song Of The Day - a warm and uplifting space where music, memories and meaningful conversation come together.
Created as part of Simon’s CST Activities, this free and open access website shares daily song recommendations linked to calendar events, nostalgia, reminiscence and cognitive stimulation activities.
Every song has been carefully chosen to be familiar, comforting and easy to sing or hum along to - helping to unlock memories, encourage conversation and bring moments of joy and connection.
Alongside each featured song you’ll find simple activity ideas, discussion topics, themed quizzes and prompts designed to gently stimulate the mind while celebrating the power of music and shared experiences.
Whether you are living with dementia, supporting a loved one, working in care, or simply looking for meaningful activities to enjoy together, CST Song Of The Day offers something positive to look forward to every single day.
Because sometimes a familiar song is more than just music - it can be a memory, a conversation, a smile, or a moment of feeling connected again.
