Description

In the winter of 2017 The Arts of Change was awarded a grant from The Arts Council England to develop a poetry project that had started back in 2011.

Three group facilitators were sought and trained to deliver poetry groups for people living with dementia at Brett Young Gateway, Crystal Gateway in Dudley and BUDS: The Dementia Support Charity in Sandwell.

71 original poems were created by the entire members of each of those groups and the individuals within them.

This book contains all the poems that were created from everyone who took part. It is an inspiring and beautiful book making us aware of dementia, those who suffer from it and families that have a family member to support with the disease.
