A huge thanks to Dr Maggie Ellis and everyone else who made last week's Adaptive Communication workshop such a success. Over 50 people came to hear an informative and sometimes challenging presentation as well as contributing our own lived experience. Particular thanks to our friends at Harwood Methodist Church who worked so hard to set us up and ensure everything went smoothly.

We have had some less welcome news from Bolton Wanderers in the Community - we have lost our venue for the Music in MInd up at the football stadium.

Huge thanks to Dr Maggie Ellis for an inspiring talk today! 🧡

We explored how to truly connect with people with dementia who are non-verbal — listening with our eyes, our hearts, and our presence speaks louder than words. Such a precious reminder that connection is always possible. 💙

Grateful to everyone who joined us! 🙏 Empowered Conversations
