Remember to Dance is a project in partnership with East London NHS Foundation Trust and the Alzheimer’s Society, composed of two strands: one, a five year project working with people with dementia still living in the community together with their carers, and the other a two year project working in the Dementia Assessment Unit at Mile End Hospital with people with more advanced dementia.
Both strands of the initial two year project, were funded by the Headley Trust and evaluated by the Sidney de Haan Research Centre for Arts and Health. The first strand working with people in the community continues for a further three years funded by Tower Hamlets. The project featured in a BBC News Health Report in 2015.
