💙 A little appreciation for our unpaid carers 💛

Behind every person living with dementia, there is often someone doing their very best to support them.

It might be a husband, wife, partner, son, daughter, relative, friend or neighbour. Someone who offers reassurance, makes time, lends a listening ear and is there through the good days and the more difficult ones.

Unpaid carers give so much of themselves to support the people they care about. Often balancing caring responsibilities with work, family life and their own everyday commitments.

We recognise that caring can be rewarding, but it can also be challenging, tiring and sometimes lonely.

That’s why it’s so important that unpaid carers feel supported, understood and know that they don’t have to face everything alone.

At Dementia Friendly Keighley, we want to recognise everyone who provides care and support behind the scenes.

💙 Your patience matters
💛 Your kindness matters
💙 Your wellbeing matters

Remember, it’s okay to ask for help, take a break and make time for yourself. You deserve support too.

Need someone to talk to or looking for information and support?

Dementia Friendly Keighley is here to help. Whether you need advice, information or simply a friendly face and someone to listen, please get in touch.

💛Could your business help support a local charity?💙

We’re looking for local businesses, shops and organisations across Keighley and the surrounding areas who would be willing to display one of our Dementia Friendly Keighley collection boxes.

Who are we?

Dementia Friendly Keighley is a local charity established in 2014. For over 12 years, we have been supporting people living with dementia, their families and carers across Keighley and neighbouring communities.

The donations we receive help us continue our work, providing support, information, advice and activities for local people affected by dementia.

Could you help us by displaying a collection box?

Whether you’re a small independent business, a shop, a workplace or a community organisation, having one of our boxes on your premises is a wonderful way to show your support for a local charity.

Every donation helps us continue making a difference, right here in our communities.

If you could offer one of our collection boxes a home, we’d love to hear from you!

You can get in touch or simply pop into our centre to find out more.

🎶💙 THE POWER OF MUSIC💛🎶

Music can be a wonderful way to support someone living with dementia. A familiar song or a favourite melody can sometimes bring comfort, happiness and opportunities to connect with others.

But did you know just how many benefits music can offer?

🎵 ENCOURAGES REMINISCENCE

Familiar songs can help bring back memories of childhood, family, friendships, special occasions and important moments from the past.

😊 IMPROVES MOOD

Listening to favourite music can lift spirits, encourage smiles and laughter, and create moments of happiness and enjoyment.

💙 SUPPORTS EMOTIONAL WELLBEING

Music can provide comfort, reassurance and relaxation. Familiar tunes can sometimes help ease feelings of anxiety and help someone feel more settled.

🗣️ SUPPORTS COMMUNICATION

When finding the right words becomes difficult, music can offer another way to express feelings. Singing, humming or responding to a familiar tune can all encourage communication.

🤝 ENCOURAGES SOCIAL CONNECTION

Taking part in musical activities can bring people together, encourage interaction and help reduce feelings of loneliness or isolation.

💃 ENCOURAGES MOVEMENT

Clapping, tapping feet, dancing or moving along to a favourite song can encourage physical activity and participation.

💛 CREATES MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS

Sharing favourite songs with family, friends and carers can create special moments together, strengthen relationships and provide opportunities to enjoy time together.

Every person is different, and music affects everyone in their own way. Finding out which songs someone enjoys and making music part of their day can be a simple but meaningful way to support their wellbeing.

🫖🎶COME AND JOIN OUR SINGING TEAPOT!

At Dementia Friendly Keighley, we love bringing people together through music.

Our Singing Teapot takes place on the first Friday of every month at our main centre in the Airedale Shopping Centre, Keighley.

📅 Our next Singing Teapot is Friday 6th November!

Come along, enjoy some familiar favourites, have a singalong and spend time in friendly company.

You don’t need to be able to sing, just come along and enjoy yourself!

🎶 We’d love to know: Is there a particular song that brings back special memories for you? Share it with us in the comments!
