On now: TURNING POINT’s Birmingham dementia support workshops…

28.07.2024

Since 2022, a team of UK dementia support practitioners has been forming through work with Sweet Patootee Arts as TURNING POINT’s Dementia Support working group: using our storytelling as inspiration they are devising (culturally relevant) resources and activities, for their communities and service users.

So we come to Birmingham and our newest member. She hates the spotlight, but praises are due…

Dawn Carr of Black History Arts and More has taken our work to new heights, by devising and now leading a programme of 6 groundbreaking workshops inspired by each of TURNING POINT’s 4 stories.
