Dementia Action Week - Whistle stop tour of Discovering Dementia

Bonus Episode

What is Discovering Dementia and how did it all start?

To mark Dementia Action Week, Penny outlines the origins of the podcast and why she started recording. After two series, she and her mum have met so many people who have generously given their time to share their own experiences of dementia. One of those is Peter Berry, who’s fundraising efforts and great positivity have been an inspiration. 

The Alzheimer’s Society is using this week – 17-23 May 2021 – to take action to improve the lives of people affected by dementia. It is calling on the government to provide quality social care that is free and easy to access no matter where you live. It believes with the right support, people with dementia can live a good quality of life, doing what matters most to them for as long as possible.
