Year of Giving Back: Younger People With Dementia Wokingham based charity

We had a fabulous day today at Sunday Wake up! It was such a great morning raising money for the Wokingham based charity Younger People With Dementia  we raised £300 to support camper Neil, in a husky trek later this year.

I ran the session as a lesson from the Dementia Friends too, so we learned the five key things you need to know about dementia as we exercised.

1. Dementia is not a natural part of the ageing process.
2. Dementia is caused by diseases of the brain.
3. It is not just about losing your memory.
4. It’s possible to live well with it.
5. There is more to the person than the dementia.

Thank you to everyone who came along, learned the key things, shouted them out and donated. What a team you are!
