September is World Alzheimer’s Month. This peaks on 21 September in the form of World Alzheimer’s Day. And, as if we won’t have had enough by then, BRACE will be 25 years old three days later, the anniversary of the charity’s registration back in 1987.
BRACE is having a celebration on the eve of its own silver anniversary, with a sparkling reception and musical entertainment at the Tobacco Factory in Bristol.
However, our priority is to get over the message that the fight against dementia is one that can and must be won. The two key events in this effort are “Question Time” style discussions to be held in Frome (19 September) and then Salisbury (20 September).
We shall be supported in this by three researchers whose work we help to fund, Dr Andrea Tales, Dr Rob Williams and Dr Myra Conway. We are also indebted to Beth Britton, whose passionate blog on the subject of dementia makes for compelling reading. The panel is completed by Gracewell Homes, who can speak with experience about providing care for people with dementia.
If you happen to live near Frome or Salisbury and are interested in coming along, please send me an email.
