What a beautiful gig by @JOANPOLICEWOMAN at @Howard_Assembly tonight. Exquisite sound and setting. Also loved how carefully she credited everyone involved.

On the lookout for any evidence that can shed light on how the cost of living crisis is and has been impacting people affected by dementia.🧐
Please do retweet and reach out if you are aware of any. Thank you!

Is Queen Street in Burslem the UK's most neglected yet beautiful street? Tragic to see so many brilliant buildings unused and crumbling away.
Captivating twilight performance by @Hanpeel & @Paraorchestra to start @bluedotfestival
Been really looking forward to this and it was brilliant and beautiful 🔵💫
ALT A large crowd watching a twilight outdoor performance by Hannah Peel and Paraorchestra. The stage is lit in green with blue light boxes where the musicians are playing. The enormous Lovell telescope of Jodrell Bank Observatory is in the background.

Congratulations to Centre PhD students @_nickytaylor @sass_cl and @emilyshoesmith on graduating with your doctorates today in a very warm Leeds. Hope you enjoyed your special day and we were so pleased to share it with you.
So happy (you can probably see from my huge grin!) to graduate with my PhD @LBUdementia @LBUHealth @leedsbeckett. Very grateful to my partner, mum, sister, and so many other people who supported me to reach this point.
I really miss my dad on days like these, so I carried with me a letter he wrote over 30 years ago telling me he was proud of me. I don’t think a man who grew up in poverty in Stoke would ever imagine his girl would be a Dr but here we are. I stand on his brave shoulders.
My research is in creative co-production with people living with dementia. Their stories matter. It made me so happy that some of my research participants and collaborators were watching at home, sharing this moment. I carried their stories with me.

The Met Office has issued an extreme heat warning for next week. Please remember the signs of heat exhaustion and heatstroke especially for older and medically vulnerable people. Early intervention to cool people down and rehydrate them can be lifesaving.

Mum dies in her sleep, in her own bed, her sons at home with her
It's a hugely emotional, final edition of the #DementiaDiary
@RadioAndrewE is relieved that her dearest wish has come true

Nearly 70% of informal carers for people with #dementia are women, leaving them unable to pursue professional opportunities & more.
We urge governments to consider equal opportunities when developing & implementing national #dementia plans.

Beryl is so loved in Yorkshire. When we premiered @MPeakeOfficial’s play ‘Beryl’ @LeedsPlayhouse in 2014 so many people had stories to share about racing with her, working with her, even building her house! People brought in photos, donated bikes for the set. It was just amazing.
Can you support someone living with dementia in Yorkshire to complete our online survey?
This #DementiaEnquirers project is led by people with dementia @LeedsPlayhouse @leedsdaa
We would like to learn about the new opportunities people have (or do not have) after diagnosis.
Are you living with dementia? Do you live in Yorkshire? Please complete our survey about new opportunities after diagnosis: leedsbeckettmhr.eu.qualtrics…
