Bright Shadow Information

Serving Kent and Medway, we use the power of the arts and creativity to enable people living with dementia - and those who give care - to live happy, healthy lives. We understand the impact of a diagnosis, yet our work fosters positivity: focusing on what we can do, not what we can't. People with dementia, family members, expert artists and other professionals are all part of co-creating our ambitious artistic work. Our trademark Zest groups, wider creative programme, and our training and resources for organisations seeking to be dementia inclusive, are all rooted in our passionate belief in authentic relationship-centred care. We celebrate the joy, imagination and resilience of every individual, regardless of challenges. We believe in the power of creative expression to enhance lives, create meaningful connections and challenge stereotypes. Bright Shadow is more than an arts organisation. We are advocates, champions and allies. We amplify the voices, abilities and unique stories of our remarkable community.
