On Tuesday 19th September, members of the @DemCarersCount team, #carers & our trustees will head to Whitehall to hand in our open letter. But, there's still time to add your name & share with others. Let's make sure #dementia carers’ voices are heard. dementiacarers.org.uk/letter…

@DemCarersCount spent the day with @DemFriendsAlton. @KateLeggDL spoke to #carers about how to support the communication needs of the person they're caring for. Our team regularly visit #dementia specialists, services & clinics. Speak to us - support@dementiacarers.org.uk.

There's no time to lose. The #SocialCare workforce is in crisis. Family carers living with #dementia are at breaking point, neglecting their own health & wellbeing. Sign our open letter urging the government to recognise that every #carer counts.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of"
As the family of Bruce Willis reveals he has been diagnosed with dementia, @WendyPMitchell, who also suffers from it, talks about the importance of speaking openly about the condition.
"If you open up to people, that's when they can help you"

Dementia makes us more than aware of fading memories - particularly at this time of year.
Add your fond memories to our MuchLoved wall fondmemories.memorypage.org/ and join us Thurs 7pm Facebook Live as Kate and Jane light a candle and rejoice in some on your anecdotes of times past.

Many family #Dementia carers find it impossible to remain in the workforce and balance their caring responsibilities. We investigate "Working + Caring" more throughout November in a series of three FREE webinars with guest speakers. @Eventbrite

In yesterday's Lunch & Listen live session, we considered how a person’s #spirituality shapes their #identity, and the impact that dementia can have on this for both the person living with #dementia and the #carer.

We've created this 'go-to' list of ideas that might help you support a person to eat and drink. Why not download it and pin it on a notice board or stick it to your fridge?
