AN AWARD-wining charity has created a hand-crafted butterfly installation to raise awareness for dementia.

Reminiscence Learning, based in Wellington, has been working in partnership with Go Create artists across eight hubs in Wellington, Taunton, Bridgwater, Burnham on Sea, Yeovil, Chard, Glastonbury, and Minehead.

The initiative is part of the Chrysalis Butterfly Events.
