Baroness Louise Casey spoke on @BBCr4today about social care reform, ahead of her speech at @LGAcomms. 🎙️

We welcome her commitment to a national conversation about the future of care. People living with #dementia and their families must be at the heart of it.

Prevention and research matter, but people also need better care and support now - not just when they reach crisis point. 💙

Lewis and Euan discuss the first signs of their mum’s young onset frontotemporal dementia, and the impact this had on them as young carers. 💙

*Not* racist...
"If you’re a Somalian with 10 children, you’re the best part of 20K better off"
Why 'Somalian' @Nigel_Farage - why not 'British' like the Radfords (22 kids: 2 'Somalians' worth of Child Benefit) - why 'Somalian'?
Because you MEAN 'Black'.
Because you're racist...

🩵 Get a glimpse of one of our beautiful Music in Mind Sessions, built to enhance lives through the power of music!

☺️ Our sessions bring special moments of joy, connection, and true expression for those living with dementia and their carers and families.

🗣️ “The Music in Mind sessions have helped David channel his negativity into music. He will now sit with other residents and doesn’t get as agitated with them. He will happily get involved in all our musical activities and will even get up and have a dance with you. He has also started to build trust in me” - David's carer.

Truly wonderful @michaelheadtreb gig tonight in Manny @GorillaMCR … ‘out there’ jazzy versions of “Streets of Kenny”, “Comedy” coda and “This house is not a motel”. New tracks sounded ‘boss’ and there was a great Roddy Frame story c.1981 that inspired “You smiled at me”. Bliss
