The Operation Ouch! Production Team is in the early stages of producing a special half-hour programme about dementia for Children's BBC. The team is hoping to film a family in which a parent or grandparent is living with dementia and where a child or young person aged 7 to 15, who has a relationship with them, would feel comfortable sharing their experience on camera. πŸ“Ή If you or your family might be interested in taking part, email Rebecca King at [email protected] or click the link for more information: πŸ‘‡ youngdementianetwork.org/Ope…!
