Brilliant first day at UK @dementiacommunity.bsky.social congress #UKDC2025 sharing our story so far with #Hoppiness, listening to Mayor of Greater Manchester & people living with dementia talk about their experiences of tech
Up in Manchester for @dementiacommunity.bsky.social national congress
@andyburnham.bsky.social as keynote speaker
We are speaking about #Hoppiness and our co-produced beer at 3.10 in the Green Room!
Such a delicious research project #Hoppiness 🌱🌾🍺
#BSG2025
Thrilled to have had this platform to showcase #Hoppiness. And the residents were (as always) the stars of the show! 😍
A beermat in bright yellow and green colours leans against a can of beer. ‘Hoppiness’ is written on the beermat.
Wonderful to be out in the sunshine with @alivegardening.bsky.social this morning, ‘breaking the ground’ for the next iteration of #Hoppiness. More details to follow!
Abstract accepted, so I’ll be back at @britishgerontology.bsky.social conference after long break. Happy memories of Swansea & Liverpool - excited for Guildford! Presenting on #Hoppiness with @alivegardening.bsky.social, on #ConnectED, & supporting wonderful @bsgcreativeageing.bsky.social 🎉
Looking for sites to plant hops at @stmonicatrust.bsky.social and it turns out we’ve already got some that date back 20+ years!
Who says innovation and tradition can’t go hand in hand?!

Spreading the word about #Hoppiness to homebrewers across the pond.
Very much looking forward to sharing news and emerging findings from our #Hoppiness project at this DSN event next week. Do join us! With @alivegardening.bsky.social
Such a great initiative happening in Bristol and South Gloucestershire #Hoppiness 🍺🍻🍺
Day spent planning and creating outputs for pilot #Hoppiness project (Brewing in Care Homes). So much more I’d love to do with it. Gardening, brewing, sociable ‘third spaces’, supporting staff in care homes… anyone want to join me?
Love this story. Chimes with what we’re finding with our #Hoppiness project. Never underestimate the value of ‘laughter and easy banter’ - sociable companionship over a meaningful physical activity 😊reasonstobecheerful.world/senior-loneliness-vienna...
Today on #Hoppiness Brewing in Care Homes project we were harvesting the hops ready for the brew. All hands around the table, conversation, stories, laughter, bringing the outside in.
