What this Trial Is About
The goal of this mixed method study is to evaluate whether the volunteer-led Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) under the BrainLive Connect programme is effective for improving cognitive function and quality of life of people living with dementia (PLwD). The main question it aims to answer are: • Do PLwD receiving the BrainLive Connect service show better cognitive function and quality of life than those receiving usual care? Researchers will compare BrainLive Connect service to usual care to see whether the intervention leads to better outcomes. Participants will: * Receive either 7 weeks of BrainLive Connect sessions delivered by trained volunteers or continue receiving usual care. * Be assessed at baseline (T0), post-intervention (7 weeks; T1), and 1 month follow up (11 weeks; T2). * Take part in semi-strucutred interviews post-intervention to provide feedback on implementation and areas for improvement.
