Knighton Initiative for Dementia Action
Flicks in the Sticks at Knighton Com are showing It's a Wonderful Life on Sunday 22nd November. Whitton WI have kindly sponsored this for them.
They plan to do several events that week as it is Carers' Rights Day on the 20th. They have booked JD's Cafe for a Glad Chatters' Tea Party in the afternoon of Wednesday, 18th. Age Cymru is joining them and are hoping to give the mental health perspective too. A Dementia Friends Awareness session will be run on the following Tuesday.
A small group of Knightonians were taken to visit their friends who are now living at Crosfield House in Rhayader and received a very warm welcome.
Joy Alderson is the new Regional Volunteering Support Officer for Dementia Friends. She is based in North Wales and covers Radnorshire so can help with any champions' queries. Her email address is joy.alderson@alzheimers.org.uk and there is champions' training in Brecon on Saturday, 14th November.
Please have a look at http://www.kindadementia.org/our-stories/ - they have added a new section called 'Our Stories' and if any one would like to contribute, either named or anonymously, they would love to hear from you.
