As a Dementia Adviser I am a support line for those affected by dementia. I do this through guidance and signposting and offering advice and support throughout the progression. Through a person-centered approach I can help those affected navigate the questions and worries that everyone has at such a time. Working with professionals and volunteers, together we are able to support people’s needs and values through assessing, referring and providing care plans.As well as support and guidance I am working with Age UK to create a new programme of groups that are located within the community in the York area. These groups include a Games Café's, a Chatty Bus, a Gardening Club, Dance Café, and more Singing for the Brain sessions. Through research we know that groups are a brilliant way for those affected by Dementia to live a richer life as they provide socializing, support, and promote well-being. The society provides support for those affected and their carers. You can follow the Alzheimer’s Society on social media and access free recourses and guides on our website, alternatively you can call out national helpline on 0333 150 3456.

The History Troupe offer a range of texts that are written by Rob bell that are historically and locally themed. These texts offered me a brilliant chance to develop my acting skills through various techniques including after show Q&A's. The audience Q&A's enabled me to work closely on my characters through real life stories and experiences expressed by audience members sharing their stories. The almost 'verbatim' style is a favourite of mine as it offers an actor the chance to really dig deep into a characters context and backstory which in turn helps to create not only a strong character but a relatable one.

As programme coordinator my role was to coordinate all programmes within the educational sector and the community.

During the internship programme I assisted on the InPort Stories project located at the ABP (Associated British Ports) Pump House on Alexandra Dock in Hull (Originally a Pop-up project but it still remains today). This exciting project enabled me to gain skills in organisation; time management; critical thinking; problem solving and communication. The Pump House Gallery was a very challenging project and pushed me through my comfort zone as I had never done anything like it before. I learnt much to do with planning, logistics and design. The project was a fantastic introduction to my Widening Participation Programme and helped me understand how large projects are run on a wider scale.
