About Us
Our Story
We are Recreo VR, a Yorkshire-based company founded by Alex and Sam. Our journey began when we had loved ones in care during the challenging times of COVID-19. Motivated by our personal experiences, we established Recreo VR with a mission to bring joy and enrichment to those most in need by integrating virtual reality into the services provided by care organisations.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support care organisations in seamlessly integrating virtual reality into the care they provide. We believe that virtual reality has the power to transform the lives of residents, improving their emotional well-being, fostering social connections, and enhancing their overall quality of life. Through our services, we strive to empower care organisations to embrace new technology and create innovative care experiences that go beyond traditional approaches.
Core Values
Our core values drive everything we do at Recreo VR. We are committed to enriching the lives of elderly adults in residential care by offering them opportunities for engagement, exploration, and connection through virtual reality.
We firmly believe in the application of VR for creating new routes to memory recall and life story sharing for individuals living with dementia, empowering them to revisit places of importance from their past and sparking meaningful reminiscence experiences.

Our services are rooted in a deep commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion. We record virtual reality experiences inspired by diverse religious and cultural backgrounds, to ensure that everyone feels a genuine sense of belonging and comfort.
We know it can be difficult to get the buy in from your teams when it comes to new processes and technology. That's why we've designed our service to be incredibly easy for carers to integrate it within their care.

Collaboration with Alzheimer's Society
We are proud to have formed a partnership with the Alzheimer's Society, a renowned organisation dedicated to supporting individuals living with dementia and their families. Together, we aim to create new routes to memory recall, facilitate life story sharing, and provide moments of joy and connection for individuals living with dementia.
By working closely with the Alzheimer's Society, we ensure that our virtual reality experiences align with best practices and the latest research in dementia care. This collaboration signifies our shared commitment to enhancing the lives of people affected by dementia through the power of virtual reality.
Recreo VR x National Trust 360 Tours
At Recreo VR, we are thrilled to offer our customers the opportunity to embark on virtual tours of National Trust properties. Through our partnership with the National Trust, we have gained exclusive access to record 360-degree content of these historical and culturally significant sites. By providing virtual tours of National Trust properties, we bring the wonders of these iconic locations directly to our customers, when they can’t get there themselves.
This allows elderly adults in care homes and individuals with limited mobility to experience the beauty and heritage of National Trust properties from the comfort of their own surroundings. It is a truly transformative experience that not only sparks reminiscence and joy but also promotes a sense of connection to our shared history and cultural heritage. We are proud to collaborate with the National Trust in preserving and sharing these treasures through the immersive power of virtual reality.
