Dementia Friendly Day
4th December 2019

Today we went to the Workmen’s Hall in Blaenavon for a Dementia Friendly Training Day to meet people who have dementia, and to learn about how it affects someone’s body and the impact it has on their life.
We were very lucky to meet Gavin, who was happy to share his story with us. He was diagnosed with dementia 10 years ago when he was 53. He told us all that he wasn’t living with dementia… dementia was living with him! It was really interesting to learn about how it affects him and how he gets on with his daily life. We were given ‘dementia friend’ badges, and also leaflets to take back to school, so that we could learn more about dementia.
