"Winter Wonderland" captured the memories of winters past from over 100 care home residents. Their voices are heard throughout the show and brought to life by three engaging actors. Audiences experienced a multi-sensory extravaganza of striking visuals, enchanting characters and sing-a-long Christmas classics.
The cost to care homes was only £50 per show.
We bring joy and meaningful therapeutic engagement to older people living with dementia, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases, through this magical theatrical experience.
You can catch a glimpse of the show and see why this work is so important, by watching this short Local UK TV feature presented by Emily Bonner.
Activities continue to be delivered in the 30 care homes we toured to, with residents and staff until the end of January.
Arts Council England is financially supporting the project, but we require match funding to enable us to continue regular activities with older people living with dementia. Every penny received will be invested in this unique, beautiful and important project.
Sadly, winter is not a joyous time for everyone, and in today's world, everybody knows of someone living with dementia or older people living in care. You may be grappling with the difficulties or your own loved one's care plan, or making the difficult decision of whether to place them in care or not. Your support will help us to bring magic and connection to those who desperately need it at this time of year.
Your generous donation will be used for costs incurred during the tour to 30 care homes and the continuation of activities. By supporting this project you will have brought a smile to over 1,000 lonely people, many of whom receive no visitors.
We believe this is a gift worth giving.
Thank you.
