We would like to convey our thanks to Maureen O’Neil, Faith in Older People, Susan, Central Scotland Regional Equality Council, and Iain Stewart, Edinburgh Inter-Faith Association, for providing a session on Dementia Awareness for our community members this evening.
The session gave rise to discussions on some of the key issues surrounding faith-based action that might cater for the needs of carers and those suffering from dementia. A much needed conversation ensued, highlighting our collective responsibility to overcome the challenges and sensitivities faced when broaching the subject of Dementia.
We thank all those who attended, and are glad that all left with an education and a deeper appreciation of a general direction to move forward in.
