The actor highlighted how proud she is of the choir's achievements
Nottingham actor Vicky McClure attended a special red carpet screening of her new BBC One Documentary 'Our Dementia Choir Sings Again' at Confetti X on Huntingdon Street. Many of the choir members attended the emotional screening which culminated in an uplifting sing-a-long at the end of the evening.
"It was absolutely magic and it really did help to change the narrative. We were on stage at a festival that is lively, vibrant and young which is exactly what we need to stop dementia being seen as a young person's disease that we are scared of. We have lots of members of the choir that are of a young age so this stigma really needs to change," she said.
Vicky said she 'couldn't be prouder' of every person who makes the choir what it is and that recording at such a famous studio was a 'huge achievement'. She highlighted that there were plenty of things that people can do if feeling inspired by the performances or the episodes to get involved. In the panel discussion, everyone was keen to stress that language matters when it comes to people living with dementia in order to break the stigma. Vicky highlighted that music can be exceptionally helpful when it comes to those with dementia and it isn't just something that affects older people.
