‘Dementia is something that affects a great many families’


Support is growing for our campaign to make Wells a Dementia Friendly City.


The police, care professionals and the Bishop of Bath and Wells have all come on board.
“I’m pleased to be the patron of the City of Wells Dementia project and commend the people and businesses locally for embracing this worthy cause,” said Bishop Peter Hancock.
“Dementia is something that affects a great many families and it is something my wife Jane and I have experienced in our own family life.
“The more we can all understand then the better we will all be able to support those who suffer from dementia and their families.”
