D-I-N-N-E-Rโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿถ

You can spell it out, whisper it, say it in another roomโ€ฆ somehow, they always know.

And if your dog is always ready for a treat, theyโ€™ll love Paws for Dementia ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’™

Pop into one of our supporting businesses, pick up a dog treat, scan the QR code and make a donation to The Dementia Trust.

A little treat for them, and a little act of kindness that can help make a real difference for people and families affected by dementia.

So, whoโ€™s up for W-A-L-K-I-E-S? ๐Ÿ•โ€๐Ÿฆบ

๐Ÿถ Every treat tells a story.

The four-legged faces in this video belong to members of The Dementia Trust family, and they're helping us spread an important message.

We're inviting local businesses to join our Paws for Dementia campaign by displaying a pot of complimentary dog treats, along with our QR code to encourage a donation to the Trust.

Dog owners get to spoil their pups, businesses show their support for their community, and every donation helps us continue funding projects that improve the lives of people living with dementia and those who care for them.

If you own or manage a business and would like to get involved, we'd love to hear from you in our messages.

Together, we can turn a small treat into lasting impact.

Dementia is about so much more than memory ๐Ÿ’œ

In this clip Sonia Mangan and Sally Saint Scot discuss how dementia can also affect movement and everyday motor skills, a commonly misunderstood and unknown aspect of dementia.

By sharing these conversations we hope to challenge misconceptions, raise awareness and help more people understand the realities of living with dementia.
