"We love your content at the 'Care Hub'. I'll be sure to buy you a coffee! The effort you put in is amazing and brings so much joy to those we support.Ā  Thank you taking the time to do this. We have fun with the quizzes and the discussions that follow, bringing huge benefits to those living with dementia. Looking forward to using this latest animal similies/proverbs addition!"

"Amazing. So comprehensive and a great illustration of the 'About Me' person-centred assessment using your husband Ade as an example. I'll be sharing this video around for sure. Thanks so much."


"Thank you Simon for your CST pages. Me and Lesley run groups in Hampshire and I plan for all of the sessions and use ideas from your pages nearly every week. We really appreciate what you do. It's very helpful."


"Thanks, your suggestions are brilliant. Sarah"

šŸŽÆ Aims


Thanks so much for your continued support in the first half of 2025.


I would value more regular feedback, particularly of how my CST activities materials have worked in practice. Some user feedback from people with dementia would be especially welcomed.


I would also like to take suggestions for amendments, additions and improvements to individual blog pages. My aim is to gradually update and improve contents.


I want to focus more on my You Tube channel content this next few months. Please can you let me know if you have used or recommended this to your clients at all?


Suggestions for new content across the board would also be great.



Best regards,

Simon
