YODyssey gives artists who have Young Onset Dementia the opportunity to share and celebrate their artwork while they can still recognise and take pride in their creations, and cherish the familiar faces of their family and friends.
The exhibition raises awareness of the growing prevalence of Young Onset Dementia and Dementia and acknowledges the contribution those afflicted by the condition still make to our community.
