Cinema to screen dementia-friendly films
Carers to go free to dementia-friendly film screenings at Scarborough's Stephen Joseph TheatrePublishedA North Yorkshire cinema is to screen a selection of films specially aimed at viewers with dementia.
The funding was taken from a locality budget of £10,000 given to each member of North Yorkshire County Council, with the money for the screenings coming from Councillor Rich Maw's allocation. He said: "Last year my mother-in-law passed away in part because of dementia and it is so difficult to get a diagnosis, even moreso during Covid.
SJT executive director Ms Routh said shows would be screened once a month with "a pianist and some snacks" and would offer people the chance to "live in the now."
