A Word From Will As we spring forward into the New Year it is with great pleasure that I find myself thanking all of our staff and volunteers for their hard work and commitment to the organisation. We had a busy few months as ever celebrating Christmas and getting ready for the New Year. As ever there have been numerous events and exciting opportunities that Approach has got involved with in supporting people affected by dementia across Staffordshire. The event at Port Vale football club on 19th January with the local clinical commissioning groups was a particular highlight for me in recent weeks, as well as the work that we are doing with final year GP students as part of our raising awareness amongst primary care. It may seem a long way away but it won’t be long before it is May and dementia awareness week is here. Please keep your ears and eyes open because we have many events and opportunities to get involved with, but of course we always kick it off with our Walk on Sunday 14th of May. Come and join us and help us raise awareness of dementia! Thank you once again to all those people who support us in our work.

Look Who’s Talking!

Hilary Stefanelli- Service Performance Manager “I was born and brought up in the North Staffs area and I currently live in Newcastle. After leaving school I did a degree in Fine Art and then started work in the voluntary sector with a community arts group working with older people and people with disabilities.

When my son was little I did a few very diverse jobs (including working on the till at Tesco, placing cherries on cakes at Mr Kipling and painting murals!) I then started working at North Staffs MIND where I helped to establish the Befriending Service for people with long term enduring mental health needs.

In 1994, I was appointed as one of the founding managers of Asist (Advocacy Services in Staffordshire) where I was the Director of Operations for 19 years. I was also involved in the establishment of Reach; a group advocacy project run by and for people with learning disabilities.

In 2012, I left Asist and had a lovely ‘gap’ year travelling around Europe. Prior to starting at Approach I spent 2 years as the East Staffordshire Area Co-ordinator for the Macmillan Cancer Advocacy Project with the Beth Johnson Foundation.

I am looking forward to meeting everyone and finding out about your work.

I see my role as working with the management team helping to ensure that Approach has a solid structure enabling our staff to continue to provide this excellent service.”

Amanda Illidge- Manager of Care Services “I was born in West Bromwich and moved to Stoke-on-Trent at the age of 10 to be near to my Grandparents. After leaving school I worked in a card board box factory for a year putting staples in boxes. The following year I studied for a degree in Biomedical Sciences.

Whilst completing my degree, I worked as a casual care assistant during my holidays in older people’s services managed by Stoke-on-Trent City Council. After completing my degree I decided to stay in the care sector and I was offered a permanent care assistant post.

I then went on to become an Assistant Manager and then Manager of another home where I remained for 6 years.

In 2007, I was appointed as a Provider Service Manager for Older Peoples Long Term Support. I managed the Residential Homes, the Day Centres and Community Care across the City. In addition to the long term services, I have managed dementia care, reablement and palliative care and I have therefore gained a lot of experience and knowledge around older peoples care and services.

In 2015 I was given the opportunity to take Voluntary Redundancy from the City Council and so I chose to leave to take full time care of my Gran.

I am eager to work with everyone here at Approach as I know our staff provide an excellent service I believe in working together to deliver the best service we can”

Training- While our carers training sessions continue to provide a good understanding of Dementia to carers, support them in their role and help them to plan for the future, our training service has recently been developed as part of our ongoing commitment to promoting high-quality services for people with Dementia. We provide our training courses in Stoke, Newcastle, Moorlands and South Staffordshire. If you are interested in attending one of our courses or would like some more information, call head office and speak to Hannah.

My Day My Way- This form of “Day Opportunity” is very unique and diverse as it is led by the person affected by dementia. We aim to match service users with trained support workers who share similar interests who will actively encourage and support the person to take up their hobbies again. By doing this, individuals are able to remain part of the local community and remain more in control of choices about the way in which they live. To find out more information on this service call head office and speak to Trina.

Dementia Advisor Service Staffordshire- Our free and confidential advisory service aims to provide support and advice to people with dementia and their families in Newcastle and Moorlands areas. The Advisory Services provides practical advice, guidance and emotional support and gives carers a greater understanding of dementia. Our advisors can speak to you in confidence about your diagnosis, provide information on benefits you may be entitled to, help you organise financial and legal arrangements, support carers in their role as well as share information about other services and agencies in the Newcastle-under-Lyme and Moorlands areas.

We now have contact centres where you can book an appointment to speak to one of our advisors. Call 01782 214999 and speak to our admin team to book an appointment.

Frequency Saturday Café- The Approach cafes are free monthly support groups for anyone who cares for an older person with dementia or mental health issue. The cafes provide an informal and friendly environment where carers and the people they care for can meet with others who understand what it is really like to care for someone. Carers can also choose the 'Take a Break' option for a small cost, allowing carers a short break from their caring role where 3 hours of structures support and lunch is provided for the person they care for. Call head office and speak to Lee for more information.

Here’s a little of what we’ve been up to lately…

Our North Stoke, Newcastle, Leek and Men in Sheds groups had a great day at their Christmas party.

Silverdale Friday group received an exciting piece of Royal mail following their handmade 90th Birthday card to HRH Queen Elizabeth

Our Newcastle Friday group were joined by children from St. Luke's Primary School in Silverdale who entertained our members with a selection of Christmas Carols.

We have had a great month of Christmas cafes which saw 280 carers join us across our 7 cafes throughout December for a mince pie, a glass of Sherry and great entertainment from singer Paul Quinton.

Our North Stoke group celebrating Halloween with a supersize pumpkin donated by Will Boyce

Our Burton group enjoyed getting creative and making paper flowers, Christmas cards and decorations

Mid Stoke Friday took a trip to Amerton Farm and enjoyed Christmas lunch

Love was in the air for our Leek group as they celebrated Valentine's Day with craft making and a party with musical entertainment

Santa called in to visit our group in Burton to deliver Christmas gifts

Re-opening of the former Special Adventure Playground

Approach provides Dementia Awareness Training for HMP Staff Approach have linked up with HMP Dovegate to pilot a scheme to deliver Dementia Awareness programmes within the prison.

Approach and Staffordshire based charity Our Space have created a partnership that will see the former premises of the North Staffs Special Adventure Playground returned to use.

We are very excited to announce that we have received notification from Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council that our joint application to take on the lease for the venue has been successful subject to agreeing detailed lease terms.

Our Space will make use of the facility to provide social and recreational activities for children and adults with disabilities and their families, whilst we will be continuing to provide services that will help older people with dementia to live well.

Christina Loftus, Director of Our Space, said: “We are delighted to be moving into these premises, which are purpose built and cater for children and adults with a wide range of disabilities.”

Fellow Director of Our Space, Mike Rogalski, added: “A lot of our members are former service users of the NSSAP, so the familiarity of the premises will be a great comfort to them.”

Our CEO, Will Boyce, said: “We are delighted to have had the news that Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council have accepted our proposal to bring the building back into use. The partnership with Our Space will see Approach using the building and facilities during the quieter times; we will be providing care services for older people with dementia or mental health needs along with adults who are socially disadvantaged.”

Together, we hope to form an ‘umbrella service’, which will enable all age groups to have opportunities to socialise in a safe and supportive environment.

With the demographics of an ageing population and an increasing number of people being diagnosed with Dementia, it has become apparent that an ageing prison population will also start to see a rise in the number of inmates with some form of Dementia.

This prompted HMP Dovegate, the Category B men's private prison, near Uttoxeter to enquire about Approach delivering Dementia Awareness sessions within the prison. Will Boyce (CEO) delivered a Dementia Friends session to inmates and our Training Officer Gaynor Morton has started a series of Dementia Awareness training for staff at the prison.

Hazel Macmillan from HMP Dovegate said that she’d never had such a speedy response from her staff following the invitation to attend our dementia awareness course.

"The sessions delivered by Approach are informative, fun and a must for all staff within a custodial environment. Sadly dementia is on the increase and, with an ageing prison population, comes a greater need for more workshops like this. With better understanding we can all live long happy lives. The sessions were very informative and all of our staff gained a lot from it. Thank you” Approach now provides bespoke training packages for community teams and private sectors. To enquire about Approach delivering a training package for your business or community group, please call our head office on 01782 214999.

Approach and Stoke City Community Trust are working together to launch a new evening based care service for older people that have dementia or other mental health issues.

Wednesday 19th October 2016 at 5.30 saw the start of the project called “Sporting Reminiscence” in the media suite at the Bet365 stadium. The project is based around sporting reminiscence and for the first event the group looked back at the 1972 League Cup Final when Stoke City beat Chelsea 2-1.

Stoke City Old Boys Association members from the 72 final were in attendance to share their memories and answer questions from the attendees.

The value of Sporting Reminiscence is that it reaches out to groups that traditionally prefer not to engage in traditional care groups, giving people something they want to do, something they will enjoy and will reinforce positive memories, making them feel good about themselves. It creates a strong feeling of wellbeing that is delivered when effective person –centred care is achieved. Rob Ledgar, Marketing and Communications Manager at Approach, said “I have seen the joy that can be bought to people’s lives by talking about topics that they can relate to and that they are comfortable talking about. By discussing these strong memories, you connect with the person and make them feel well about themselves. In turn this reflects back later in the day when people return home having had a good day, they are less challenging and easier to care for. We are also looking for these events to be based in the early evening, an area where carers have very little opportunity for respite. By reigniting good memories we aim to help people’s well being and combat the effects of loneliness, depression and dementia.”

Fundraising at Approach As part of their charity of the year fundraising, TSB Hanley held a Halloween fundraiser and donated £100 to Approach.

Congratulations to Zoe and Kristian from the Co-Op in Leek and Approach Staff Caroline, Lorraine and Gwen who all took part in a 14 mile sponsored walk from The Co-Op in Buxton to the Co-Op in Leek! In total a fantastic £300 has now been raised by Zoe and Kristian at the store to support our dementia care services.

Approach volunteers, Anthony and Penny Butters organised a fundraising evening at the Sneyd Arms Hotel in Tunstall, featuring entertainment from Michael Jackson tribute act, Darren Cyples. The Halloween party raised £126.50 to allow us to continue to provide our services.

Starting on Saturday 22nd October from the Town Hall steps in Biddulph, three Biddulph Rotarians pushed a Sainsbury's trolley to Llandudno to complete a 90 mile trolley trek! The Rotarian "trekkers", John Robinson, David Ash and Tony Birchall made the 90 mile journey to raise funds for Approach and the children's charity, Action for Children. The 6 day trek saw the Rotarians pass through Staffordshire, Cheshire, Flintshire, Denbigshire and Conway before arriving at their final destination of Sainsbury's in Llandudno where they finally dropped off their trolley.

En-route, the "trekkers" met with civic dignitaries of the towns they passed through as well as other Rotary Clubs and Town Criers, collecting funds as they went. So far the team have raised over £1500 and are still collecting sponsorship! Thank you for your efforts!

Life By Viv Mathers At last it's dawn I stand and yawn I cannot quite believe my eyes what a mess I see there lies Clothes strewn across the floor Even some hung on the door!

It can't be me, surely not It looks like someone has lost the plot Never mind what a state Things to do-that can wait I have to wash and then to dress I keep on looking at that mess The water is cold the towel is wet Maybe it’s a lodger I have not met?

There are my clothes, how do they go?

These days I do not seem to know I wish my mum was here to assist She would help to clear this mist My head it seems to be so strange As if the world it cannot arrange It used to be so very clear These days though it's sometimes queer.

The girl I think calls here today Puts me in her car and whisks me away She tells me that we will meet friends Then drives us off down winding bends

Along the way we get some more She goes knocking on the door Someone else gets in the car I sit and wonder who they are They behave as if they know me well I haven't a clue, oh what the hell!

The girl who drives I think I know Always smiling as we go Another stop, another stranger I now have no sense of danger Off I go without a care in the day Off to Approach My Day My Way It all seems OK, it looks kinda nice The people are friendly and we all break the ice The girl seems to think she has brought me before But I know that I have never been through this door At three the girl says it's now time to go Where she is taking me I do not know We arrive at a house she says this is mine I look at the door it says number nine We both go inside and oh what clutter Under my breath I begin to mutter Have I really done this? It surely can't be No dear I say- it was the other me
