We hope that Lowestoft Men's Shed have a great time this weekend celebrating the Lowestoft First Light Festival this weekend. The Lowestoft Shedders have built an impressive 30ft long table which is going to be used during the festival. #MensSheds #ShedsintheCommunity #Shedders

‘Uncertainty, financial strain and stigma dogged and marred those final months and weeks in a way that it would not have done for other big killers.’

A think tank is recommending making social care free for people over 65, paid for by a 2p tax rise.

Those who could afford it would pay for accommodation but not personal care. This would reduce bed-blocking, saving the NHS up to £4.5bn a year. See more: https://t.co/R4k5deRmRv

Hoe do we measure the difference on the ground for people living with dementia in dementia-friendly communities? #unitedagainstdementia we need to measure progress! @DementiaFriends @AlzSoc

[Dementia Friends @DementiaFriends]

#DementiaFriends Champions are dedicated volunteers who help to raise awareness of dementia all across the country by presenting local Information Sessions. Did you know...

[Alzheimer's Society @alzheimerssoc]

Lynda never expected to have to pay for her husband’s dementia care. But like so many others, she's been left to cover the cost for herself.

It just isn't fair. We urgently need to #FixDementiaCare- but we can't do it without your help.
