We like to Move it Move it - Making Moving and meeting online!!

We really never have been as busy here at Dry Water HQ

Our first response was to ensure that during the Covid Crisis people living with dementia and their carers had our full support. That is still on going and developing daily. Then we moved to shopping/medicine and food parcel delivery and to sewing for the NHS

We have also managed to keep the creative buzz alive and kicking through a series of online offerings .

Paula has been hard at work encouraging ,coaxing and celebrating the joy of moving with weekly classes for various groups including online Chair yoga, guided relaxation , dance classes and a series of bespoke movement/meditation resources for those who are the most vulnerable

Paula says

“ Its been very important to keep the connections going and the feedback has been wonderful as have all the jokes and good humour. I have been moved and encouraged by the responses and the importance of having classes that are made specifically for groups and in some cases for individuals so that we are enabling people living with dementia /Parkinson’s/depression/anxiety to keep dancing both with others and also providing specific classes to help with supporting more functional movement or well being needs.

“ He lit up when he saw you on the screen waving at him and loves it when you mention all the different people in the group”

We are using online platforms to maintain connections and to stay true to the Dry Water “brand” of making moving and meeting together even under this time of restricted social contact

We do this as ever by celebrating the community and providing useful and relevant online content that is created for the needs of each group.

Why not try a little taster here!

We are developing more resources so keep in touch and as ever please contact us if you want more information about this or if you have suggestions
