For their fantastic, innovative programme to work with dementia in our community.
This includes Dementia dances and events at the Riverside, Alan Peacock's Memory boxes going out on visits around care homes and also dementia friendly training at the Riverside for all staff for Boro games.
Having witnessed this project myself it is really making a difference. Just like music, sporting memories can spark and unlock distant memories in those sadly afflicted with dementia. This might be only a fleeting flicker but the difference to the quality of life can be significant. Middlesbrough is the only football club doing this presently and great that it has been recognised nationally because it is truly a nationally significant project.
