Did you watch Elizabeth is Missing on BBC One last night? What did you think? Was it an accurate portrayal of how dementia affects a family? Let us know in the comments... https://t.co/egtsaDMptR

Pinning your badge to your jacket is one of the simplest actions you can take as a Dementia Friend and it has a big impact. Let's get out there, show our support for the movement and wear our badges with pride this winter ☃️

Leon’s grandad Paul was diagnosed with Alzheimer's when Leon was 2 years old - his grandad was just 54. An unfortunate encounter motivated Leon to enlist the services of #DementiaFriends Champion Lynn Bonnar: https://t.co/FCFDO3JNwI

Fantastic to welcome a new group of volunteer Dementia Friends Champions after yesterdays induction at Barnard Castle! They are working to making a society more inclusive for people with dementia! @teesdalemercury @DementiaFriends

'Dementia is not considered a primary care need. Which means that if you are unlucky enough to get it, the bill’s on you.'

Hear from Sarah Vine on the shocking news that families affected by dementia have spent £15 billion on care in the last two years. https://t.co/JdCE7FQ2Kx

We love this clip from @BBCOne's 'The Toddlers Who Took On Dementia'!

It's so incredible to see the impact that inter-generational support & friendship can have for people living with the condition. It can make such an amazing difference!

Can you help raise awareness of dementia within your community? Our Dementia Friends Champions deliver information sessions which aim to increase understanding and awareness of dementia. Next induction, Berwick Upon Tweed - https://t.co/9nmXHUhLnX
