The 20th of January is claimed to be the most depressing day of the year. Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport

We are proud to continue to develop work and open up conversation to tackle #socialisolation and today we have been writing scripts that do just that.

“We are all living in the same minute, have you ever noticed that minute is full of possibilities?”

A great way to start the new year with a performance of ‘Over the Garden Fence’ for trainee nurses at The University of Sheffield with Dementia Friends

Thank you for all your support in 2019, and what a year it’s been!

We’ve been busy touring during Dementia Awareness and Dying Matters Weeks. We ran our Gather Together groups, sharing old stories and creating new ones. We enjoyed Intergenerational work with primary schools, created new bespoke presentations and performances, did voice overs for Chester University and worked with so many more organisations and people over the country. Our office space at Kingsway is filling up with more suitcases and props, the perfect hub for learning and creating. We have a new exciting show in the making on social isolation and loneliness. And the cherry on the cake was welcoming our newest member Beatrice Harris to Haylo.

And we are grateful for it all. Thank you for all your continued support. Here’s to a wonderful 2020 filled with more theatre, more laughter and more wonderful people.

Love Hayley and Louise x
