Last week was photography walks at Swinley Forest for our group with young onset #dementia in East Berkshire. We had fun getting to grips with a variety of digital equipment including phones, iPads and cameras, laughing and chatting as we went 🌿🪵

Katakanuing at Horseshoe Lake 🚣‍♀️ This is just one of the activities we are offering to the people we support with young onset #dementia. While working together as a team to paddle & steer the katakanu, participants enjoy the beautiful views of the lake and socialise.

Our attendees with young onset dementia have been lucky enough to groom & ride the #horses at Enborne Equestrian Events over the last six weks. Alison has benefitted from bonding with her horse Marge, while Pam has loved working with Molly and plaiting her hair 🐴💕

When John was diagnosed with young onset dementia at the young age of 56, his wife & young children were left devastated. YPWD have been supporting their family for 2 years and Janet is now walking the Thames Gateway Charity Walk to give something back. justgiving.com/page/janet-gre…

Our triathletes were up bright and early for the 7:30am Dorney Triathlon this morning and absolutely killed it 🏅 It was a sea of green at the Olympic venue today, as our team were representing YPWD in the event village as Dorney Lakes Charity Partner. justgiving.com/campaign/dorne… 💚
