Right at Home regularly holds Dementia Friends information sessions but it is now committed to creating 1,000 new friends within the next 12 months.

Dementia Friends is an Alzheimer’s Society initiative which aims to give people a better understanding of what it is like living with dementia.

Right at Home Mid Sussex kick started its fundraising efforts this week, in aid of Dementia Action Week, before getting baking for Cupcake Day on June 13th – one of Alzheimer’s Society’s flagship events.

Charlotte Matier, Director of Fundraising for Alzheimer’s Society, added: “Alzheimer’s Society is delighted to be chosen by Right at Home as their first charity partner. We are very excited to be working together with an organisation like Right at Home, who have a real passion for providing quality care and support to people in the community.”

Charlotte explained how there are currently 850,000 people living in the UK with a form of dementia, and if we don’t take action, this number is predicted to rise to over 2 million by 2051.

“On behalf of all at Alzheimer’s Society, I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone at the organisation, their commitment to both fundraise and raise awareness will really help to create a more positive future for people affected by dementia,” she added.
