Joël Kruisselbrink, a Dutch education movement professional, has discovered a highly creative way to engage and motivate elderly individuals to stay active and embrace life fully.
Sleeping residents at a dining table. This is a familiar scene in a care home. However, when Joël saw this, he wondered how to transform introverted residents into active participants. Inspired by his passion for movement and his desire to make a meaningful difference, Joël began working with people to address the unique challenges they face in maintaining physical activity.
Joël’s drive stems from his mission to enhance quality of life, creating a more beautiful world for individuals in their later years. His work benefits those not just in care homes, as his games inspire movement among various groups, including children and adults facing sedentary lifestyles and workplace pressures. Through play, Joël strives to resist societal norms and cultivate a generation that never stops moving.

Imagine a collective of unpaid carers of people with dementia with the advocacy skills, knowledge, and passion for making positive change for everyone impacted by dementia.
Thanks to the work of tide, you don’t have to imagine. tide works side by side with carers to ensure that their voices are heard. The foundations of tide were born out of the daily struggle that a group of women experienced in looking after family members with dementia. They decided that they did not want their experiences to become a reality for future carers. Out of this powerful
commitment, tide the charity was born.
tide walks alongside unpaid carers, every step of the way. They are continually inspired by the courageous people who come forward to add their voice to a growing movement. They see their confidence grow and lives change as unpaid carers realise the powerful impact of their voices. This is what motivates them. This is what keeps tide moving forward.
