Around 56,400 women and 390 men in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer each year.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and we’d love to encourage you to wear your favourite pink clothes to show your support and help raise awareness. 🩷

Take this opportunity to spark conversations about early detection and the importance of check-ups, because they can make a real difference.

If you’ve decided to wear pink today, let us know! Share a picture of yourself or your friends, and help spread the word. 📷

Mental health matters.

We’d like to take this time to acknowledge just how important mental health is and how it can impact us and our loved ones.

When we are struggling, asking for help can be difficult.

If you see someone going through a hard time, try reaching out. Open conversations and a kind word can go a long way to helping someone feel less alone. 🤗

We’ve recently written an article about mental health and some practical self-care habits. Read it here: https://loom.ly/y_KPqZY

Staying active and engaged is important for everyone, but it can be especially meaningful for people living with dementia.

Some key strategies and activities that may help your loved one keep their mind engaged and active include:

🎵 Remembrance and Emotional Connection
Activities that spark memories and encourage conversation may be deeply comforting. Look through photo albums, listen to music, or discuss past experiences.

🚶‍♀️ Gentle Movement
Light physical activity may support both physical and cognitive wellbeing. Simple exercises such as walking, stretching, chair yoga, or dancing are good options.

🧹 Purposeful Tasks and Independence
Purposeful, everyday tasks may help people living with dementia feel more independent and in control. Activities like folding laundry, sorting items, or setting the table support routine and offer a sense of achievement.

👉 Check out our latest blog to learn more about activities to do with people living with dementia, including what to do when activities don’t go to plan: https://loom.ly/80f-QTE
