I have personal reasons to want to share and promote the work that the Alzheimer's Society does to campaign and support those living with dementia. There is no doubt that the coronavirus pandemic has badly impacted anyone with dementia and their families. I am a member of a support group on Facebook and I am shocked by the daily stories of decline and distress and the ongoing fight to visit loved ones and get the right care. And of course the Governments silence on their promise to fix social care is a scandal.
Dementia is set to be the 21st century's biggest killer and affect 1 million by 2025. I am therefore joining in with the Alzheimer's Society Cupcake Day on 17th June 2021. The much needed funds raised will help the Alzheimer's Society reach more people through their vital support services. My father and I have had direct benefit from these services, both in person and via their helpline. I am so grateful for their invaluable advice and support which has enabled me to find a way through the care system and make sure I get the very very best for my mother.
