Awdry Bailey and Douglas Solicitor Nicola Hibbert and Legal Assistant Catherine Cole are looking for members of the public to sign up and attend a Dementia Friends Information session during Dementia Awareness Week on Thursday 22 May 2014. The session is FREE.
Having volunteered to be Dementia Friends Champions, Nicola and Catherine will be delivering Dementia Friends Sessions to people across Wiltshire over the coming months starting at Awdry Bailey and Douglas Offices in Devizes. They will be talking about what it is like to live with dementia and turn that understanding into ACTION. The session will take place from 10.00 – 11.30am.
WORRYING CHANGES NOTHING, TALKING CHANGES EVERYTHING...
Nicola said “I signed up to be a Dementia Friends Champion because I see many clients who are living with dementia and I wanted to do as much as possible to make their experience a better one. It’s easy to get involved. I signed up through the website and attended a one day training course on how to deliver the sessions. I’m so proud to be part of a growing network of people helping to create dementia friendly communities across England.”
Dementia Friends is an initiative by Alzheimer’s Support to help members of the public understand what it might be like to live with dementia.
Alzheimer’s Society is aiming to have one million Dementia Friends by 2015, to help make England more dementia friendly and improve the lives of the 670,000 people who are currently living with the condition.
If you would like to attend the session or for further information, please contact Keshani at our Devizes office on 01380 722311 or alternatively go to www.dementiafriends.org.uk
