Festive Cheer at the dementia Winter lunch

This week, CAD-Brent and Ashford Place hosted a heartwarming get-together at Chalkhill Community Centre, marking the last gathering before Christmas. This event is one of four seasonal parties held each year for people living with dementia and their carers.

Living with dementia presents many challenges, so it is essential to have moments of joy and relaxation. This gathering provided just that—a day to feel good and refreshed. Attendees enjoyed a delightful lunch and an invigorating workout session. The highlight of the day was the first public performance of our “Songs for Joy” choir, which was a resounding success.

Debbie, our dementia-hubs manager, warmly welcomed everyone and expressed gratitude to our generous sponsors, the Big Lottery, and our dedicated volunteers from Zurich Insurance, who provided invaluable support and Christmas presents. Harrow Cares, our staff team, and our dementia community also received heartfelt thanks.
