World Alzheimer’s Day — 21 Sept 2025: Alzheimer’s is not just forgetfulness or a normal part of ageing. Early signs—memory loss affecting daily life, confusion about time or place, trouble finding words, or personality changes—should prompt a respectful conversation and a medical check-up; early diagnosis and support can improve quality of life for people living with dementia and their families. This year’s theme, “Ask About Dementia. Ask About Alzheimer’s,” urges everyone to speak up, challenge stigma, and build dementia-friendly communities.

You can help by learning the warning signs, offering practical or emotional support to carers, and sharing accurate information so myths don’t spread; donate or volunteer with local Alzheimer’s organisations to fund care and research. Share to raise awareness and support someone today.

It honestly feels weird to be celebrating Christmas this year given what's happening in the world. Nevertheless, this #community #choir I direct will be doing our best to spread some love and cheer in their hometown of #Celbridge tomorrow at noon. We'll be joined by two wonderful special guests too.

Voices of Spring is an #artsandhealth project for older people, with a special welcome for those living with or effected by #dementia and other age-related illnesses.

I reflect upon Nightingale & Merrifield recent blog (The Health Foubdation) on the case of the disappearing white paper on health disparities - I reflect on implications for #DementiaFriendly communities & support for people. https://www.health.org.uk/news-and-comment/blogs/the-health-disparities-white-paper-disappearing-shows-a-dangerous-pattern
The health disparities white paper disappearing shows a dangerous pattern for action on health

Our assistant directors of healthy lives explain their disappointment in the government’s decision to shelve the keenly awaited health disparities white paper.

Myself and @SharonMurphyMusic have been directing these #dementiafriendly community #choirs for a number of years now with support from #Kildare Arts Office, and we have our first Christmas concert since 2019 next week! There will be tears.

Found some gems when I was researching alternative versions of songs for this morning's session with the Forget-Me-Nots, including this performance of 'It's Only a Paper Moon' by the Canberra Harmony Chorus. Such a fun arrangement! #dementiafriendly #choir #choralarrangment

Tomorrow I'm hosting a 'Silver Lining Fridays' session on Zoom for the Forget-Me-Nots, a #dementiafriendly community #choir based in Dublin. These sessions are so enjoyable to curate - they're always themed, and this one will be inspired by last week's beautiful full #moon. We'll have an eclectic mix of songs, poetry, film clips and stories, including one from this beautiful book of #folktales from the Irish Traveller community.
