As restrictions on leisure activities ease, we’ve started a series looking at different activities that can be beneficial for those living with #dementia and their #carers to do together. In this first blog we give tips on visiting museums & galleries: dementiauk.org/going-out-gal…

Congratulations to @AnthonyHopkins on winning Best Actor at the Oscars for his portrayal of a man with dementia in The Father. We are looking forward to the UK release of the film in June. @KDening talks about the film & cultural representations of dementia in this BBC article 👇
"Dementia is still a very stigmatised and feared disease, because you lose capacity, and there's a sense that people take over on your behalf" - @KDening speaks about cultural representations of dementia in this @BBC_Culture article about 'The Father': bbc.com/culture/article/2021…
