@WendyPMitchell Sending love and prayers to you and your family. Your Mum was an absolute inspiration to so many people and changed how people think about dementia.

[Dementia Friendly East Lothian @DFEastLothian]

Patrick sharing #justonething from our conversation cafes :-) ⁦change the narrative. Is dementia a form of neurodiversity? ⁦@LoreenPardoe⁩ ⁦@QMUniversity⁩ ⁦@suzannezeedyk⁩ ⁦@AlanJohnGow⁩ ⁦@ELHSCP⁩ ⁦@Shaminakhtar⁩

[Dementia Friendly East Lothian @DFEastLothian]

Thinking skills over the lifetime matter because we want to have a good old age & people believe a sense of purpose is most important but see value of social connection less clearly @AlanJohnGow @LoreenPardoe @Shaminakhtar @QMUniversity @ELHSCP @TheAgeingLab

[Dementia Friendly East Lothian @DFEastLothian]

@suzannezeedyk opens our celebration of all things inter-generational & why we need to connect all ages, communities & build trust. Powerful to feel the pain of disconnection . Thank you. @LoreenPardoe @Shaminakhtar @ConnectedComEL @QMUniversity @ELHSCP @AlanJohnGow

[Dementia Friendly East Lothian @DFEastLothian]
