People aged under 65 are not included in national #dementia diagnosis targets. They often struggle for years to be diagnosed and misdiagnosis is common.
They face the financial consequences of leaving employment early and navigate complex social care systems designed for older people living with dementia which take no account of midlife family responsibilities such as dependent children.
We're calling on the next government to do the following👇#GE24
Dates for our upcoming workshops. All free of charge.
Whether you know someone living with dementia, or if you are a health/social care professional who would like more support, we offer small interactive sessions where questions are welcomed.

Join us for our online reminiscence workshop. It is a fantastic tool to promote positive communication, interactions and boost mood and wellbeing, for both the carer and the person living with dementia. To book and to see our other workshops head to effro.eventbrite.co.uk
If you're a carer who's feeling stressed, anxious, or burnt out, join us tomorrow for a FREE Carer's wellbeing session.
We'll explore methods to manage these feelings and practical ways to alleviate them—free, simple, and easy to implement at home.
