I am nearly 94. All my contempories are dead - the girls I was at school with, the girls I was a student with, and all those I first worked with. Those I have "picked up" over the ywars who are still here are more decrepid than I am. Gradually People disappear. That becomes the problem. I belong to many groups and still contribute to "things"
Hi Valerie thank you for sharing this. We do end up with friends of a similar age, maybe we need to pro-actively build friendships with younger people as well?!
Professor Alison Wray is a landmark and a cornerstone in her field. Thank you Alison for all what you have done and still doing
I have heard this far to ofyen where the social services say, this is not a safeguarding concern, and they just brush it off.

Thank you, Lydia
I recognise several people from the Tuesday discos on Zoom...didn't realise they had such talent! A great way of bringing the stigma of dementia into the spotlight so that people can be less ignorant about it. Right Joy, I feel a 12" disco version being produced! LOL
This is a must watch for anybody who knows anybody with advanced dementia
Thank you Phil! We are hoping to get another A Conversation with Dr Maggie Ellis booked in soon as well - watch this space for more quality research and discussions!
