Champion Tracey recently shared with us how reminiscence activities have been beneficial for her mother-in-law and family.

After her beloved great nan was diagnosed with Alzheimer��s, Madeleine set out to raise money for the Society by walking 50 miles - despite needing an operation on both her legs.

She raised £1,150 & has since recovered well from surgery. What a #FridayFundraiser star! 🌟

This #TimeToTalk day, what’s a simple action you could take as a Dementia Friend?

Living with dementia or caring for someone who is can be a challenging time. Why not send a text or make a call to someone who might be feeling lonely? Small actions can have a big impact!⁣📱👍
