'A chance for carers and people with dementia to connect' – Dementia together podcast December 2024
Our latest Dementia together podcast is all about enjoyable and engaging activities for people with dementia.
First, we speak with Emma Hutchin, who after caring for her Nan Doris was inspired to change careers. She left the teaching profession to work with people with dementia as a Drawing and Talking practitioner.
And we also chat with Angelo Makri, Alzheimer’s Society Senior Knowledge Officer for Wellbeing who gives us the lowdown on choosing activities.
