💜 It's Dementia Awareness Week - and this year's theme highlights the importance of friendship at every stage

We're volunteering in the Ferry Road Morrisons store this Friday as part of their 'Forget Me Not' appeal - pop in to hear more about this brilliant cause if you can!

[Alzheimer Scotland @alzscot]

Receiving a dementia diagnosis is life-changing. Even if someone sensed something wasn’t quite right, hearing the words out loud can change everything. In moments like this, friendship becomes more important than ever.

This Dementia Awareness Week, we are celebrating the power of friendships and how they can be a powerful force in the life of a person with dementia - and how staying connected can bring comfort, joy and a sense of belonging to people living with dementia.💜👇
