READER LETTER: Dementia - Support is out there
We had busy public information stands in Louth, Skegness, Lincoln and Boston. We gave staff at Siemens and school children in Sleaford a better understanding of dementia through our Dementia Friends information programme. We celebrated the launch of a Dementia Action Alliance in Gainsborough and gave talks about the condition in Mablethorpe and Woodhall Spa. And we even had a ‘dementia friendly’ cinema screening of Singing in the Rain at Bishop Grosseteste University.
Dementia affects 11,000 people in Lincolnshire but many are living without any support or advice.
