Alzheimer's Support
Comic Relief funds diagnosis campaign
Alzheimer's Support has been awarded £80,000 to support people seeking a timely diagnosis in East and West Wiltshire. The money will fund a three-year project to research barriers to diagnosis, train volunteers to support those suspected of dementia and develop an awareness campaign.
In March a report showed that just 31 per cent of people with dementia in Wiltshire had a diagnosis, putting the county among the worst in the UK. Do let us know your experience around diagnosis.
Looking for a challenge?
We have 12 places for runners in the prestigious British 10k run in London in July.
Why not join up, get fit, raise much-needed funds AND be in the capital in the run up to the 2012 Olympics? See our fundraising pages for more information.
