Hatchmoor's Autumn Joy! 🍂 Reliving the best moments from October. Created by: Megan Laura Tulk

We had a wonderfully creative morning, getting into the Halloween spirit with some crafts! Our residents enjoyed painting and colouring their festive decorations.

Why Art is So Important for Residents with Dementia....
Painting and colouring are more than just fun activities—they offer significant therapeutic benefits for people living with dementia:

Art can provide a non-verbal outlet for feelings that may be difficult to express in words, helping to reduce anxiety and agitation.

Choosing colours, planning a design, and focusing on the details of the craft helps engage their minds and can improve focus and concentration.

Finishing a project, no matter how simple, gives a wonderful boost of self-esteem and purpose. The process, not the final product, is what truly matters!

Holding a paintbrush or crayon can help maintain hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.

Doing crafts in a group setting creates a calm, shared experience that encourages connection between residents and staff.

It was a joy to see everyone's creativity shine through today! Happy Halloween crafting! 🧡🖤

Leanne & Megan have made their way through 16 miles of their challenge, with some fantastic support from the residents at Hatchmoor who have joined in too! They only have 15 miles left to complete in the next 10 days! 🏃‍♀️💨

But we still need your help to reach our fundraising target!

We've already raised a brilliant £30, but we're hoping to hit £180.

Why £180? Because that amount is enough to fund three reusable tubes for collecting breath samples at the GP surgery from people with symptoms that may be pancreatic cancer. This research is vital for early detection!

Every single donation brings us closer to funding this crucial equipment.

Can you spare a few pounds to help us get there?

Thank you so much for your support! Let's get Leanne and Megan to that finish line and hit our goal!
