Tai Chi and Dementia Awareness Week in Waltham Forest (17th – 23rd May 2015)

May 10, 2015 by bootleweb

new_24_4_Dementia_Friends_CMYK_land850,000 people in the UK have a form of dementia. 2,055 people are currently living with dementia in Waltham Forest. These figures are set to increase significantly as the population ages.

In 2012 dementia was the leading cause of death for women over 80 and was the second leading cause of death for men in this age group. Deaths from dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are increasing as people live longer, with women living longer than men.

At the centre of the Borough of Waltham Forest we are fortunate to have the tranquil and historic Lloyd Park which was extensively restored in 2012. During the week there will be a range of local activities and events for people with dementia and their carers in Lloyd Park and Gallery. These include walks, talks, exercise, Tai Chi, gardening and museum activities run by Lloyd Park Community Project, William Morris Gallery and Alzheimer’s Society Waltham Forest. Click here for the full programme.

Dao Lu is very proud to be involved in supporting this initiative. Here is a list of Tai Chi activities run by Dao Lu in the programme:
