Finding the Words is our flagship project for people living with dementia, and their carers and families. Over the course of eighteen weeks, we will work with a group of around 10 - 15 people from a local residential home, to create poetry, music and movement, finishing with a sharing event at The Forge (located in The Anvil) with friends and family.

What You Need to Know...

Location: At your care home

Suitable for: People of any age living with mild to moderate dementia in a local care home

No. spaces per concert: Preferably 8 - 12 (we will accept up to 15 as we understand that not all members will be able to make every session)

What people will explore: Alongside poetry, music, and movement, creative conversations (which will ensure that the group get the opportunity to share stories), opinions, and meeting new people that will all support improvements in cognitive ability

Benefits for carers, family and friends: It is our intention that, through the 18 weeks of these sessions, participants will be engaged and using creative outlets to help them to live well with dementia. Through evaluating this project, we may be able to find ways to further our offer of support in future

You will need to arrange transport to and from The Anvil for the final sharing event.
