Vikki Slade MP has launched a petition calling for every school to have a Young Carer's champion. We know this would make a huge difference to the lives of Young Carers, so we're fully in support. Are you?

You can show your support by clicking the link below and signing the petition: https://www.change.org/p/appoint-a-young-carers-champion-in-every-school-in-england

We're backing Vikki Slade MP's call for a Young Carer's Champion in every school.

More than 4,500 schools already have a lead for young carers, but every school needs one.

Having this kind of support in all our schools can make a huge difference in helping young carers to balance learning and caring.

Help get Vikki's petition to 100,000 signatures by the end of August by adding your support here: https://www.change.org/p/appoint-a-young-carers-champion-in-every-school-in-england

🎵 The Power of Music at Connections Day Care & Community Club 🎵

Music has an incredible way of bringing people together, especially for people living with dementia. Singing can unlock cherished memories, reduce anxiety, boost confidence, and bring smiles when words sometimes cannot.

At Connections Day Care & Community Club, we love seeing the joy that music brings to our attendees. Whether it's singing along to favourite classics, clapping to the beat, or simply sharing a laugh, every session is filled with friendship, happiness, and meaningful moments.

Our welcoming day care service provides a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where people can socialise, enjoy a variety of activities, and maintain their independence while giving family carers valuable respite.

If you're looking for a friendly and welcoming day care service for a loved one, we'd love to hear from you.

For further information or to arrange a visit, call us on 020 8366 3677 and select Option 2.

Dementia UK reported that meaningful activities are good for us all and can go a long way toward improving the quality of our lives.

So if you’re caring for a person with dementia, thinking of meaningful activities for them to engage with could be extremely beneficial.

Meaningful activities can include:

Gardening
Cooking
Games
Arts and crafts
Cleaning
Dancing
And much more

When selecting which meaningful activities to engage with, try to link them to the interests the person enjoyed before their diagnosis, but also be mindful of their physical abilities and how much they can or cannot do.

Which meaningful activities will you be engaging in this week?
