Deaf Awareness Week - Day 3 🌟

Ensure you provide access support where needed. It's important to remember that every deaf person has their own preferred communication method so ask people what their preferences are and what support would be best.

In UK alone it’s estimated there are nearly 1 million people living with dementia. It affects people differently with differing rates of progression or symptoms.

All someone with dementia asks, is that you #SEEdeMEntia not the diagnosis/disease.
