Aberdeen Maritime Museum is hosting a dementia friendly event for people to rock to the sounds of the 70s, 80s and 90s.

The concept of Boogie in the Museum was created by Anne Duncan, whose husband Bill Duncan was diagnosed with dementia in 2011.

Mr Duncan was a keen local DJ and his wife noticed that following his diagnosis he continued to enjoy dancing and his love of music was still infectious.

Ms Duncan now works with The Foundry, Aberdeen Health and Social Care Partnership, Alzheimer Scotland and M&S Bank to present relaxed, dementia friendly events.

Boogie in the Museum builds on the success of the popular monthly Boogie in the Bar sessions at The Foundry Bar.

Councillor John Wheeler said: "One in three of us over the age of 65 will receive a dementia diagnosis.

"Keeping someone with dementia busy and engaged can become more difficult as the dementia progresses.

"Arts and culture activities can play an important part in triggering memories for people living with a dementia diagnosis and innovative events like Boogie in the Bar, and now Boogie in the Museum, are fantastic examples of individuals and organisations working together to improve the day-to-day lives of people living with dementia and their families.

"These events are intended to be relaxed, informal and above all, fun."

Boogie in the Museum will take place on May 4 between 4.30pm and 7.30pm.
