​A huge thanks to Sam Griffin from Radio Ashford for having me on the other day. A brilliant experience on a fab community radio station and we are hoping to have reached many more family members of those with dementia in need of a lifeline. Listen here for the full interview.

So thrilled to announce that the singers from Songhaven CIC are to return to perform at Woodchurch House on Friday 5th July at 2pm. Such a wonderfully moving experience- we can't wait & the invitation is open to all - do join us if you can.

This weekend I completed the 26 miles mission that is 'Trek26 Stonehenge', organised by The Alzheimer's Society. There is a series of these around the country to sign up to- and I would much recommend! The legs are sore and one big blister on left foot is making walking tricky but oh so worth it in terms of raising awareness and sponsorship, plus a great mission to get your teeth stuck into. I went it alone but felt so supported by messages of love and I was lucky enough to meet some great people along the way. I covered the ground in 8hrs and met one woman in particular, Camilla, with whom I walked almost from start to finish. We were on the same page about so much. It's these encounters with strangers that have really struck me as so important. We all need each other in one way or another. Keep reaching out and keep moving forward.

We were treated last week to Songhaven's wonderful dementia friendly professional singers at Woodchurch House care home.  The residents' and their families hugely enjoyed it and we were mesmerised by the beauty of their voices. A wonderful event that continues to prove the power of music and how it seems to tap into an emotionally charged part of the brain protected from dementia.
