Along with many other arts, culture and community organisations, we’re delighted to be taking part in the Kent Dementia Action Alliance’s Creative Care Expo in January.

As you know, we’ve been rolling out our Memory Box project to older people’s groups, and have extended this to those living with dementia too.

This event is an opportunity for older people, their carers and representing organisations to come along and find out what ourselves and other organisations are doing to provide creative opportunities for people, with the overall aim to improve quality of life, keep both body and mind fit, and to reduce social isolation.

There will be presentations about the amazing projects already undertaken, along with displays and taster sessions (best book a place – click here to do so on line, or call me on 07904 643770), and a chance to chat to organisers about the activity they offer. The whole event is FREE, so don’t miss out!

We will be running two taster sessions, with a variety of objects to inspire memories and story sharing. If you wish, you can bring along a special memento of your own and share its story with us.

The Creative Care Expo takes place on Thursday, January 26 from 10am-4pm at County Hall, Maidstone, hosted by the KDAA Cultural Arm. Hot and cold drinks will be provided, and there are plenty of restaurants locally for lunch, as well as County Hall’s own restaurant.

We look forward to seeing you 🙂
