For our latest Dementia together podcast we spoke to Teresa Davies, in north-east Wales.

Just over a decade ago, Teresa was diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer’s. 

This came as a shock and left the usually positive Teresa in a dark place. 

She says she ‘didn’t know how to cope’ after her diagnosis and wasn’t given the right support.  

But a chance meeting turned things around and helped Teresa to find a new purpose. 

She now lives as well as she can with dementia and supports others affected by the condition.

You can visit alzheimers.org.uk/publications for our range of publications and factsheets designed to support and inform anyone affected by dementia.

'A new purpose' – Dementia together podcast March 2024

For our latest Dementia together podcast we spoke to Philip Angrave, in Kent. 

Phil worked in the NHS for over 40 years and was a lecturer for more than 20 years, teaching undergraduate nurses and doctors. 

Phil decided to step back from work following a diagnosis of Lewy body dementia. 

He's now using his experience for a different purpose – calling on his local decision-makers to make dementia a priority in his area.

Listen to hear how Phil is campaigning for change and his top tips for others who want to campaign.

Also in this episode, Kath Falconer, National Influencing Officer at Alzheimer's Society, explains why campaigners like Phil are so important.

Your donations play a vital role in ensuring people affected by dementia are aware of the services offered by Alzheimer’s Society, especially in what is a difficult time for everyone. To donate, visit alzheimers.org.uk/give or call 0330 333 0804.
