What a wonderful experience to be part of U&ME, the national young onset dementia conference organised by Dementia Forward. Our founder and director, Elaine Harvey, spoke about the power of dance to create connections — within our brains, between people, and with our own sense of identity. And why dance is so much more than a wellbeing activity. We were delighted to premiere The Space Between Us, our new short dance film created with our Momentum dance group for younger people living with dementia and their families, and brought to the screen by filmmaker James Drury. And of course, we couldn’t leave without getting everyone moving! With just a single finger, we invited the room to explore how even the smallest movement can spark creativity, playfulness and connection. ☝️💃 A huge thank you to Dementia Forward for organising such an important event and inviting us to contribute. 🎬 We’ll be releasing the full film on Friday 24 October to mark Young Onset Dementia Day (#YODA). Watch this space! #TheSpaceBetweenUs #YODA #YoungOnsetDementia #DementiaAwareness DementiaForward MovingMinds MomentumDance CreativeHealth DanceAndDementia ArtsInHealth SocialConnection DanceForHealth UandME

Community Impact! Our Community Coach Katy has been delivering some brilliant sessions with the Dementia Forward café, showing how sport and physical activity can be adapted so everyone can take part. Last week, the group enjoyed Fast Feet, using the equipment in a seated activity by throwing and rolling the ball to switch the lights off. It was a fantastic way to work on mobility, coordination and accuracy — with plenty of fun along the way! This week, they turned their attention to basketball. Whether standing or seated, everyone could get involved, testing their hand-eye coordination and shooting skills. There were some fantastic shots, plenty of cheering, lots of laughs and even a few nostalgic sporting memories shared! It’s fantastic to see the enjoyment these sessions bring and a great reminder that physical activity has so many benefits more physically and socially Proud to be Town 🟡⚫🟡 #proudtobetown #morethanfootball #dementiaawareness #inclusion #harrogate
