Everyone Should Be Dementia Aware
Alastair Shanks, Managing Director:
"Prior to my grandfather developing dementia around 15 years ago I had very little understanding of dementia. I didn't know the difference between Alzheimer's disease and dementia, I didn't know how it affected people and if I had met someone with the condition I wouldn't have known what to say to them"
Previous participants have said:
"This session was informative, sensitive and thought provoking"
"It was relaxed and informative and noticeable that everyone present felt comfortable enough to contribute in some way despite the subject being sensitive."
