Bluebird Care Thurrock & Castle Point supports Dementia Awareness Week 2016

The Alzheimer's Society is the UK's leading dementia support and research charity, supporting people living with any form of dementia in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The charity provides information and support, funds medical research, and campaigns for a better quality of life for people with dementia and a greater general understanding of the condition.

Running from 15 - 21 May, 2016, the aim of the campaign is to encourage people who are worried about dementia to confront their concerns by addressing dementia directly and coming to Alzheimer's Society for information and support.

Alvin Osei-Tutu, director of Bluebird Care (Thurrock & Castle Point), said: 

Dementia Awareness Week is an important opportunity for us to help promote understanding of dementia and raise awareness of the Alzheimer's Society and the vital support that they provide on both a national and local level. We hope that supporting this campaign will help break down barriers and help people in our local area who may be worried about dementia come forward and seek support.
