Dementia Disco

Dementia Disco A unique initiative for people living with dementia in Stockport.
(1)

Using the power of music to inspire memory, conversation and friendship, the Dementia Disco is a place to come and enjoy, and chat about, (and maybe have a dance to) your favourite songs.

Our volunteers are the beating heart of Dementia Disco 🩷

Every smile, every conversation and every dance shared on the dance floor is made possible by the incredible people who give their time to support our community🀝

From welcoming guests through the door to sharing a dance, offering reassurance or simply sitting down for a chat, our volunteers help create the warm, inclusive and supportive atmosphere that makes Dementia Disco so specialπŸͺ©

For many people living with dementia, as well as their families and carers, our discos are more than just an event. They are a place to connect, build friendships, stay active and create meaningful memories through music and movement.

✨ Volunteers help make all of that possible.

To every person who has volunteered at a Dementia Disco, thank you. Your kindness, energy and compassion make a real difference to the lives of so many people.

More than a disco πŸ’›

A place for friendship, connection, support and joy.

Here's what our Poynton community had to say about what makes Dementia Disco so special 🎢✨

We're sharing it here on Facebook too because this challenge is about more than dancing for 24 hours β€” it's about raising awareness, starting conversations and highlighting the positive impact that music and movement can have for people living with dementia.

Music has a unique ability to support people living with dementia by helping to:

🎢 Unlock memories through familiar songs, experiences and emotions.

πŸ—£οΈ Spark conversation and encourage communication through shared musical experiences.

🀝 Bring people together by creating meaningful moments of connection with family, friends and the wider community.

🩷 Boost confidence and wellbeing through self-expression, enjoyment and achievement.

πŸ’ƒ Encourage physical activity and movement, helping to support balance, mobility and overall health as we age.

🫢🏻 Reduce feelings of isolation by providing opportunities for social interaction and belonging.

😊 Create moments of joy that can improve mood and help people live well with dementia.

That's why Nick is taking on this challenge. To help change perceptions of dementia, show that it is possible to live well with a diagnosis, and celebrate the power of music, movement and community.

We'd love for you to follow the journey, share the campaign and support Nick as he dances his way across Stockport on 26th–27th June πŸ’›βœ¨πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

πŸ•ΊπŸ©· THE 24-HOUR DANCE-A-THON IS HERE πŸ©·πŸ•Ί

Last year, our incredible community made history, logging 5,668 dances to protest the removal of the dementia diagnosis target from the NHS Operational Planning Guidance for 2025–26.

This year, Dementia Disco co-founder Nick Shaw is taking on his biggest challenge yet: dancing for 24 hours straight to raise awareness, challenge perceptions and show that it is possible to live well with dementia.

From Friday 26th to Saturday 27th June, Nick will be visiting Life Leisure hubs across Stockport, bringing music, movement and community to every stop along the way.
