Diane Forsythe Supports Dementia Action Week

“I took away excellent information on how we all should work to make public areas dementia friendly and I plan to undertake further training to become a Dementia Friendly Community Champion. xa0

“This is such an important issue and with many younger people being diagnosed and living with this condition it is imperative that we all take time to learn about awareness and early detection signs. There are few families this issue does not affect.

“As a critical charity in the delivery of this service I look forward to working closely with the Alzheimerโ€™s Society in future to support training, awareness and fundraising in the South Down area,” added Diane Forsythe.
