Local charities Dougie Mac & @ApproachStaffs merge to ensure continuation of care for people living with dementia in our community.
After working together since 2018, this merger is the natural next step to further enhance our services.

A postbox topper has been produced to mark Robbie Williams' 50th birthday.
The creator of the topper in Syston, Leicestershire, now plans to sell it to raise funds for the Dougie Mac hospice in Stoke-on-Trent, where Robbie is a patron.

Thank you to everyone who gave us such a warm and humbling reception when we took to the stage to collect our Civic Pride Award on behalf of all at Dougie Mac last night at @Heroes_Awards - a wonderful evening full of local stars shining brightly 🌟🌟🌟#ProudToBeStaffs #yha2023

It was lovely to meet Paul and Hannah from @ApproachStaffs in the @CRCityRadio studio recently.
They provide a range of services for local people, carers and families affected by dementia.

Well Kate @KateLeeCEO a small part may be be down to our friends @ApproachStaffs and their strategic alliance with our hospice @DougieMacStoke If you fancy a natter over a coffee , even if it’s virtual rather than face to face just DM me.
Hard to know who to @ when you want to congratulate a whole system but the folks of #StokeOnTrent are clearly smashing it, with dementia diagnosis rates reach 90.8% - the highest in the country. 💙 Outstanding performance team Stoke!! #Dementia

There's beautiful work coming from our Moulding Memories group with @ApproachStaffs.
These flatback planters were made using press moulded pieces & slabs. They were inspired by the works they saw at @vawedgwood. We can't wait to see what they create next.

This round of workshops with @ApproachStaffs has finished & we could not be happier with the work that was made. In the final session, the group sat back to admire their pieces with tea & biscuits served in their very own mugs they had decorated the week before.

Our Moulding Memories group from @ApproachStaffs continued work on their trinket boxes this week. They learned how to join the sides by scoring them with a metal tool and using thick clay slip to hold them together.

Our Standard comes with such great recognition!
@DougieMacStoke recently became the FIRST UK Hospice to achieve a Level 6 accreditation with our Investor in Excellence Standard.
Thanks to EFX for making this recognition happen.

Kate you are assured a warm here, anytime. I am bordering on evangelical about @DougieMacStoke and our work on dementia with our Admiral Nurses and alliance with @ApproachStaffs . I know you're very busy today but DM me sometime with contact details and we will hook up.

Incisive commonsense as usual from @KateLeeCEO spotlighting the absurd absence of a long term plan for dementia care. We have our own plans @DougieMacStoke @ApproachStaffs but joined up thinking is essential across this topic.
Behind the scenes today, I need notes at 05.55am! Listen in throughout the day as I, and some familiar faces (inc @TommyTommytee18) call on the UK government to honour their commitment to a 10 year dementia strategy. 36,000 of you signed the @alzheimerssoc letter #actionnow

Huge admiration for @Vicky_McClure in her work with #dementiachoir especially in spotlighting the challenges faced by people living with dementia. Familiar themes to our colleagues @DougieMacStoke Admiral Nurses and @ApproachStaffs
