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.
iPads help in reminiscence work
Reminiscence has taken on a new dimension at our dementia day clubs, thanks to the use of iPads.
