Wendover Dementia Support has been using the OMI ‘magic table’ since the Monday club reopened earlier this year. It has been enjoyed immensely by all the visitors and has provided much shared laughter, communication, social involvement and stimulation during the sessions. The Tovertafel OMI projector has been bought by Wendover Dementia Action Alliance (WDAA), who obtained funding from Wendover Parish Council and LHC Community Benefit Fund to buy and use the projector in the local community. The interactive technology, known as the Magic Table (the English translation of the brand name), is to be lent to various local organisations to use. These could include people with dementia and their carers, day centres, special needs settings, schools, and other community groups to help enhance their learning and quality of life.
people in activities which stimulate movement, communication and mental engagement will always be beneficial and ultimately enhance their quality of life. More details at https://omi.uk/.
