Just for your information, I’ve updated the blog flier to include my YouTube channel. It would be great if you could print off and display it prominently.
My YouTube channel has started off fairly well, with 29 (free) subscribers so far. Some nice comments received about it include:
"We decided to do a CST Christmas reunion last week for group members and carers and we did the YouTube 'Christmas Music Quiz'. It went really well and was enjoyed by all. Thank you & merry Christmas." - from Jaymie Armitage & Laurall Tyndall - Occupational Therapists, Runcorn, Cheshire.
"My young onset group enjoyed participating in this quiz. Thank you." - from Faye Philp, Tauranga, New Zealand
"Thank you for this, I work with and as an Activity Coordinator with a care home provider, and this is really empowering, thank you so much." - from Alan Southall
"Absolutely brilliant, more and more people need to know about this!" - from Gingko Landscapes
My main 'Simon's CST Activities Blog' continues to go from strength to strength, with 13,016 site sessions this year, 21,849 post views and 6,474 unique visitors, 253 of whom are regular returning visitors.
It is very pleasing to see that there are 48 new (free) subscribers this year and that engagement with my website is up by 131%.
Top blog posts this year have been ...
As you all know, I am determined to keep this CST activities resource free and open access to all. But there are some costs that need covering. This year's web editing package bill was £518.40, plus there are YouTube and Spotify subscriptions to be taken care of.
As my work is unpaid and entirely voluntary, there is a www.ko-fi.com/simondementia webpage where a ☕️ donation can be made to help towards covering these costs. I am, of course, very grateful to the 16 of you who have contributed this year.
Also, thanks to the following supporters for their messages ...

"What an awesome thing you have created here! Just new to the job, after leaving teaching, so thank you so much for this ! Wishing you a very happy New Year!" Angie
