Moving Kinship Hubs , Free Dance Workshops For People Living With Young-Onset Dementia and Their Carers

The Moving Kinship Hubs offer a new creative psychosocial service, supporting people living with young onset dementia and their family carers. The hubs support ways of 'listening with movement' which impact positively on family communication and relationships. Led by arts and health professional, Dr. Beatrice Allegranti, the hubs involve the creation of personalised dance and musical performances based on the many-layered experiences of living with dementia. Within a safe and supported workshop setting, families can then see aspects of themselves and their emotional experiences within these performances. The performances are followed by an opportunity for everyone to respond and reflect creatively, through movement, live music and words.

This is a free service, supported by Arts Council England and Public Health and is part of the social prescribing portfolio in GP surgeries and NHS Trusts across the UK
