We are thrilled to announce that, due to popular demand, Beyond Dementia has been extended until January 2018. Curated by our Fabulous Forgetful Friends, the art on display shows how members of the group have experienced dementia, whilst celebrating their fantastic flair for the arts.
All the latest events will be posted on the Whitworth Art Gallery’s website, so please keep an eye on their events page.
We’d like to thank all the wonderful artists, the exhibition visitors and the Whitworth for hosting!
We look forward to welcoming even more of you to the exhibition.
The Feel Good Stay Well Club is a weekly group run in partnership with Guinness Housing. Taking place in locations across East and North Manchester, it is a great opportunity for people in the local community to together with some friendly faces and keep active.
People with dementia and their friends, family or carers are very welcome to come along and make the most of the range of fun activities on offer. Why not join in? Feel Good Stay Well club runs from 1.30 until 3.30pm every Wednesday.
If you are interested in attending, please contact Sally Ferris (Together Dementia Support Director and Coordinator) by email sally@togetherdementiasupport.org or call 07854 335890.
All are welcome to attend the preview and to attend any of the accompanying events over the next couple of months. We are very pleased and proud to have been a partner in this project
Thanks to funding from Guinness Housing, we will be running new pilot activity and friendship groups in east and then north Manchester. Guinness are keen to improve their offer to people with dementia, wanting them to be better integrated into the sheltered schemes in which they live or welcoming them to visit the schemes and join a group. We hope that the more able tenants will enjoy the activities too, which will focus on physical activity, maintaining skills – (such as cooking), and having fun. Information sessions will be on offer too so that family carers, tenants and others can learn more about what dementia is and isn’t. In this way we hope to reduce the stigma and embarressment around age-related memory changes and dementia. Our first ‘Feel Good Stay Well Club’ will start at Auden Court, Clayton on Wednesday 15 August at 1.30pm. If you are interested in attending PLEASE contact Sally on : 07854 335 890 to check that we can accommodate you and/or your relative
