This Dementia Awareness Week, we are highlighting the importance of raising understanding, reducing stigma, and supporting people living with dementia, along with their families and carers.

The aim of the week is to encourage greater awareness of the condition, promote early diagnosis, and ensure people feel supported, included, and connected within their communities. Small changes in understanding and kindness can make a big difference to those affected.

We were delighted to welcome Rachel Kane from the Alzheimer's Society to our coffee morning, where she shared valuable insight and information to help us all gain a better understanding of dementia and how it impacts individuals and families.

A huge thank you to Rachel for taking the time to speak with us and for helping to increase awareness and confidence in supporting those living with dementia.

Together, we can create more dementia-friendly communities where everyone feels seen, supported, and included.

Beth and Aphra were at Birmingham City University yesterday, training a new cohort of mentors joining the Pathway to Potential mentoring service.

When asked why they wanted to become a mentor we had some powerful replies...

“I am passionate about helping young people. They’re our future- providing a strong foundation for them is crucial. We need to nurture them.”

“I remember a time when I received support, and it had such a big impact on my life. Children are vulnerable, and it would be great to give back and give them the opportunity to flourish.”
