Being a Dementia Friend means being there for everyone affected by dementia. Those caring for people living with dementia may experience loneliness due to increased social isolation and stress. A quick call or text letting someone know you’re there for them can go a long way.
The NHS will let you know when it’s your turn to be vaccinated. Please don’t ring your GP about this, as your call may prevent someone who really needs help from getting it. The vaccine is coming! ❤

Dementia Friends helps people talk more openly about dementia. By learning about dementia, we can better support loved ones and feel more equipped to have conversations that combat stigma and misconceptions. Sign up for a virtual Info Session here: https://t.co/Pwhd0VVpIS
When the NHS contacts you or a loved one to get vaccinated, there are a few places you may be asked to go — a local hospital, a vaccination centre, a GP service, a pharmacy or through your care home if you live or work there. https://t.co/1e3nCAUFcB
We cant thank our wonderful carers enough. Every day they ensure that elderly & vulnerable people are cared for, not feeling isolated, just sharing some happiness in these dark days. Please stay safe & spread kindness, not diseases ❤
