Hide AdShe said “Dementia affects a growing number of people from all walks of life and I am passionate about helping them to live well, through providing excellent standards of care and by raising awareness of the condition within our communities.
“The Dementia Friends initiative of getting people together with a trained Champion volunteer is an effective way of doing this. The sessions last about an hour and are eye-opening and inspirational.”
