Thank you so much honestly
What a truly moving discussion from @PEttenes talking about their reflections around their identity, dementia, and how important having a voice is.

Since the 1980s, our buses have been in a spiral of decline.
But today we’ve taken a big step towards fixing our public transport.
We’ve now taken the decision to move to public consultation on our plans to bring buses back under public control.
Have your say from 23 October.

A general election has been called for 4th July 2024, and we are urging all parties to put dementia on the agenda so that everyone affected by dementia gets the specialist support they need. 📢
“Navigating the #dementia care system pushed me to breaking point. So many times I’ve been left to fend for myself.”
Whilst caring for his parents, Chris saw the urgent need to transform dementia care. Read Chris’ story and sign our letter to party leaders here: dementiauk.org/information-a…

In the center, an older woman in a light blue suit, black gloves, and a wide-brimmed hat, also wearing a boutonniere. On the right, a younger man in a dark suit with a boutonniere. All are smiling and looking at the camera. There is a backdrop of a stone building partially covered in ivy.

This report helps to give a voice to Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic older people, and highlights the diversity of people's lived experiences, which need to be much better understood by policy- and decision-makers.
