From the Mojo Dementia Support website: At this time, especially during lockdown, older members of the family are often most isolated. This is made even harder if you’re supporting a loved one with dementia.
The Moments of Joy movement is all about sending an expression of love to family and friends who you can’t be with during lockdown, especially those forced to shield through age or illness.
We hope that you will join in and express your #momentsofjoy on your social media accounts.
Speaking about the event, Daniel says: “RADA creates opportunities for young people from all walks of life and it’s superbly realised in this incredible project.”
More from Daniel Mays: I feel incredibly blessed to have been given the opportunity to train at RADA.
My experience there was an unforgettable one; a creative journey of self-discovery, hard work, honing my talent, opening up horizons and sharing my life with some of the most inspiring and dedicated teachers and students.
Of course, I was aware of RADA’s history. Its reputation and standing within the industry speaks for itself. It was a journey into the unknown for a working class boy from Essex. I need not have been intimidated. RADA matched my drive and ambition every step of the way. From day one it was always nurturing and totally supportive. A space to succeed, fail and continue to grow. At the end of my training, I felt totally equipped and ready to enter the profession. They gave me a bag of tools to hit the ground running and I haven’t looked back. I shall be forever indebted to everyone there for their invaluable expertise and guidance.
