Breaking down barriers to support

Telephone appointments can be overwhelming for some of our service users… and let’s be honest, rural signal doesn’t always help either.

Today, we supported a client to set up and attend their very first Microsoft Teams call.

For them, it meant something really important, being seen, not just heard. Just like a face-to-face appointment, but without the stress, travel time or cost.

Sometimes it’s the small steps that make the biggest difference.

This is what accessible support looks like.

Pom Pom Tina lit up the room this afternoon with her beautiful solo dance and stunning light-up wings!

Our service users absolutely loved watching the performance, with smiles, laughter, and plenty of applause all around. Moments like these bring so much joy, spark memories, and create real connection through music and movement.

A magical afternoon at Heads Up

Pom Pom Tina is here at Heads Up right now, getting our Memory Day group moving, shaking, and smiling!

There’s plenty of music, laughter, and colourful pom poms as everyone joins in. Sessions like this are so important for supporting mobility, coordination, confidence, and connection, while having lots of fun along the way.

The room is full of energy and joy this afternoon!

Still smiling after Friday’s Memory Disco 💛

Our pass the parcel forfeits were a highlight, from balancing cards on heads, to head tapping and tummy rubbing, to some brilliant limericks!

Pass the parcel made a comeback this afternoon, and it was a hit 🎁

Laughter, anticipation, and a few cheeky competitive moments as the music stopped and the layers came off! Everyone got involved and it brought such a lovely sense of fun and connection to the room.

Simple games, big impact!

This afternoon’s Memory Disco was something special 💃🕺

Music playing, people dancing, singing, and smiling — everyone got involved in their own way.

Moments like this aren’t just fun. Music and movement help unlock memories, lift mood, and bring people together.

Thank you to everyone who made it such a joyful afternoon

Fun Friday at Heads Up, Disco Ready!

The room is set, the music is queued, and we’re ready to dance this afternoon at our Memory Day Disco.

Moments like this are about so much more than just fun.
Singing, music, and movement are incredibly powerful for the brain. They can:

* Stimulate memory recall
* Encourage communication
* Lift mood and reduce anxiety
* Bring people together through shared joy

For many of our clients, music unlocks memories and emotions in a way nothing else can. A familiar song, a rhythm, a moment of movement… it all matters.

Today is about connection, confidence, and creating moments that stick.

We can’t wait to see the smiles on the dance floor.
