💙 We’re Halfway Through Dementia Action Week 💙
As we reach the middle of Dementia Action Week, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported our events so far, from local organisations and businesses to volunteers and members of the community who have come along to show their support.
Today, we spent the day at Braintree Village and were delighted to be joined by Braintree Voices, whose wonderful singing brought so much warmth and joy to the event.
🎶 Singing can be incredibly beneficial for people living with dementia. Music has the power to trigger memories, improve mood, reduce anxiety, encourage social connection, and help people express themselves, even when communication may become more difficult. It can create moments of comfort, familiarity, and happiness for both individuals living with dementia and their loved ones.
If you’d like to find out more about Braintree Voices and the fantastic work they do, please visit:

💙 Tomorrow you can find us at:
📍 Coggeshall Market — 9:00am to 1:00pm
📍 Halstead Queens Hall — 10:00am to 3:00pm
Come along for a chat, meet local organisations, and find out more about the support and services available in our community.
