Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer. Someone develops it every three minutes and there’s currently no cure. Thanks to Ecclesiastical’s donation, we can continue to fund our Dementia Connect service. This donation will help 100 people begin their Dementia Connect journey with a call from one of our telephone-based Dementia Advisers. This first contact with a person living with dementia, their carer or family member is the initial step in understanding how we can best support them.
Our innovative Dementia Connect service will transform the support people receive and will provide the right support in the best way for each individual person. Combining face-to-face support with telephone and online advice and information offered by specially trained Dementia Advisers. Our expert Dementia Advisers and trained volunteers are available to speak to by phone or face-to-face. They help people with dementia take back control of their lives and remain independent for longer.
