A fantastic afternoon meeting my new volunteer Ken. Together we will run the first group in #Wyre supporting people with early on set #Dementia. Our hope is to use this area for our members health and wellbeing delivering a green care project! @yourMHA@LancashireCC
A fab today for MHA Blackpool, Wyre and Fylde! A lovely donation from @LancashireTea and poster dropping in Ansdell with Jan our regional fundraiser! @yourMHA
Pizza Party incoming! A very kind donation by Morrisons Blackpool means our residents at @yourMHA Starr Hills will enjoy a night of making their own pizzas in the coming weeks. I canโt wait to see the photos of their creations.
Fab day self reflecting and working as a team on how we enable performance within ourselves and those around us. I love face to face training and @yourMHA have supported my induction with so many positive experiences. Investing in staff is number one here and it really shows!
โ๏ธNew group incoming! โ๏ธ
We have 2 new dates added. The #Poulton Pals will take place on 26th June and 3rd July. This will be a peer supportive group and we welcome everyone to join in and make this a positive and vibrant experience for all with early on set Dementia. @yourMHA
Great meeting today with the Blackpool Central West PCN team, discussing all things Dementia. With every meeting we are getting closer to our goal of a fully collaborative community approach to delivering our service. So far its been an amazing #DementiaActionWeek for us!

Once upon a time, I was a Photographer.
As my career progressed in charity, I look for creative ways to fundraise. Do you know a venue where I can exhibit?Where anyone can submit images that depicts their experience of Dementia. Can anyone help?
Fab morning at @trinity_hospice Blackpool doing their #DementiaAwareness training. Jaide and I connected with so many people all working to support people in our town. Thanks to Maxine and Julie!
Iโve been listening to what residents and professionals say is needed in Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre - the result is a lack of support for people with early on set #Dementia. Come along to our taster session! @yourMHA#ClaremontParkCommunity
Another important meeting today with Poulton library. Together we will deliver a group for those with early on set Dementia. We even had someone enquiring who overheard our conversation! Itโs going to be fab. @yourMHA@LancashireCC#Poulton
I canโt believe the transformation of Claremont Park Community Centre! Very much looking forward to running a group here again soon. Watch this space #Blackpool
Visited the Forget me not cafe today in Blackpool, such a warm and friendly atmosphere. We sang, played tambourine and watered some plants. Friendship and connection is their priority and I definitely felt that! Watch this space for a new group opening up in Wyre soon!
Fab start to the Bank Holiday for our scheme! The team at Castle Gardens #Poulton have kindly given us space on their bar to collect money to help fund our new community group. Remember to pop your pennies in next time you visit! ๐ฅ @yourMHA#communityfundraising
Gorgeous weather in #Blackpool today! Why not come and volunteer with my scheme and letโs get our green spaces looking good again, while meeting new people and connecting with the community. Everyoneโs welcome!
The ducks have arrived at @yourMHA Pennystone! Thatโs two sets of 5, almost hatched and ready to be loved by the residents. The anticipation of the new arrivals has everyone excited!
