In May, the Mayor of March, Cllr Andrew Woollard, supported the Alzheimer’s Society by attending a dementia awareness coffee morning held in St Peter’s Hall.

The Alzheimer’s Society have a team of fully trained Dementia Advisers who are there to support everyone affected by dementia or worried about memory, including family members and carers.

As well as providing you with information, they can help you to understand dementia better, for example, helping with communication, eating and drinking, washing and dressing, etc.; working with you to find strategies to cope with the difficulties that you face. Staff will offer you a listening ear and a safe space to discuss the emotional impact of this. The service is free and confidential, and can be accessed at any point and as often as needed.

They can also help you to access benefits and any other services that may support you, and to plan for the future. There are a range of services including one-to-one support, groups, information sessions and are available in over 60 GP surgeries around the county.

If there is any way they can help you, please call on 01223 620962 or email at cambridgeshiredementia@alzheimers.org.uk.
