AnnotationAfter her grandfather had lived with dementia for about three years, the author noticed how difficult it had become to engage him in activity. However, watching her grandfather's face light up in the presence of her young niece gave the author the idea of an inter-generational project that would bring together adults with dementia and pre-school children in creative and fun activities. She describes Bright Shadow, the charity she founded, and which uses creativity and performance in its work. (RH).
