We are working to make Hartlepool more dementia friendly. Your organisation can play its part by pledging three simple actions to be more welcoming & supportive of people affected by dementia. Contact 01429 868587 or das.hartlepool@hospitalofgod.org.uk to find out more. #DAW2022

Asking the same question, over and over again. It’s not called getting old, it’s called getting ill. Support and information about a dementia diagnosis is just a phone call or a click away. Visit bit.ly/3L2QUgA or call 0333 150 3456 today. #DAW2022

Dementia Action Week starts tomorrow - we can't wait to see how you get involved! Act now and help us challenge the myths around dementia diagnosis. Because asking the same question over and over again is not called getting old, it’s called getting ill: bit.ly/3jW9ETK
