As part of the celebrations, BCOP is also launching a fundraising appeal to create a new Sensory Street at Neville Williams House—a dedicated space designed to support people living with dementia. The project aims to build a familiar, calming environment that can help reduce anxiety, stimulate memories and improve quality of life for local residents.

The new facility will directly benefit people in Selly Park and surrounding areas, providing a valuable local resource for individuals and families affected by dementia.

Helen Gore, CEO of BCOP, said: "Reaching 80 years is a significant milestone for our charity, and we're proud to celebrate it alongside the people at the heart of everything we do—our residents. At the same time, we are looking ahead, investing in environments that will make a real difference to people living with dementia in our local community."

Local residents, families and community members are warmly invited to attend. Details  are on our website https://bcop.org.uk/event/step-back-in-time_at-neville-williams-house/
