We've had great fun at Linkshouse this morning The Pier Arts Centre, to launch Gabrielle Barnby's book 'Raindrops in the Fire' A collection of poems, memories, and conversations from the Hub. We read pieces from the book, and enjoyed the beautiful space #DementiaAwareness

We had a great time at Hub yesterday with the nursery kids from Papdale. We learned some new games, and were serenaded with their favourite songs. Looking forward to seeing them again this afternoon!
